Higgins and Tom Murphy at his home in Dublin. President Michael D. Higgins said ‘It is a great honour to bestow the Golden Torc and the title of Saoi on one of Ireland’s greatest contemporary playwrights, Tom Murphy. The title of Saoi is Aosdána’s highest honour, which recognises the achievements of the recipients and signifies the high esteem in which they are held by their peers and fellow artists. Tom Murphy’s contribution to Irish theatre has been of an immense and unique kind. From the early beginnings of his writings, in Tuam, Tom Murphy has produced an outstanding body of work. He has been above all the great playwright of the emigrant, more than anyone capturing, in a poignant, creative and provocative way, the transience that is at the heart of the emigrant experience.’ PIC: NO FEE, MAXWELLPHOTOGRAPHY.IE
