About The Show: A series of four plays by Gabrial Rosenstock give us an insight in to life at the Irish language newspaper Amanathar. Drawing from his own experiences and two eventful years spent at the newspaper Anois, Rosenstock reveals what is involved in the running of a newspaper and the everyday issues that the newspaper and its staff must overcome - the weekly editorial, a lack of staff, deadlines, tension amongst the team and, of course, how to ensure funding for the paper. Producer of the series for Raidió na Life is Gabriel's son Tristan Rosenstock, a former presenter with the station. Raidió na Life is delighted to rebroadcast the series this autumn, every Sunday at 1.30pm starting on the 24th September. If you are unable to listen to the broadcasts, podcasts of the entire series are available here.
Drama 1 – Amanathar: We meet the staff and a poet who is constantly badgering them for reviews. Could it be that the loyal reader who called in to report a UFO sighting in the neighbourhood is not entirely out of his mind?
Drama 2 – Anocht: Having placed ads on Amanathar's dating page, two people find themselves together in a jazz club trying to untangle truth from fiction.
Drama 3 – Anuraidh: The Amanathar team face a dilemma: the writer of the death notices requests a preview of his own!
Dráma 4 – Amanathar RIP: The whole team are in the pub to mourn the passing of Amanathar - the grant has been cancelled. But do they have a trick up their sleeve for the final edition?
