A "Quare Nicht" with Skailt will be presented on 26 November 2026 at the Discover Ulster-Scots Centre in Belfast. The event features Anne McMaster’s play, which tells the story of a young lass from Aghadowey emigrating to America in 1718.
Join us for Skailt, Anne McMaster’s play in Ulster-Scots and English about a young lass from Aghadowey leaving Ulster for America in 1718.
Join us at the Discover Ulster-Scots Centre for our next Quare Nicht, featuring Skailt, a play by award-winning writer and playwright Anne McMaster.
It’s 1718. Harvests have failed, rents are rising and Presbyterians face restrictions on public life. Across Ulster, families are preparing to leave for America.
Among them is Lizzie, a young lass from Aghadowey. She packs a few seeds, hoping to grow food when she arrives. She’s never seen the sea, and now she’s about to cross the Atlantic.
Performed in Ulster-Scots and English, Skailt tells the story of one of the first great waves of eighteenth-century emigration from Ulster to America through the voices of Ulster-Scots women. Through Lizzie, we see what it meant to leave home, what they took with them and who they had to leave behind.
