Twist of Gold

Product Information

In November 2016 Michael Morpurgo won the J M Barrie Award for his contribution to children’s literature.This award is given every year by Action for Children’s Arts to a “children’s arts practitioner” whose lifetime’s work has delighted children and will stand the test of time. I have very mixed emotions about this story. As an Irish girl, I think that the accents Morpurgo gave to each character were not very accurate, I feel that he neglected researching Irish culture and wrote each character as an Irish stereotype: the fiery girl with a sharp tongue that can do the Irish jig, the brave irishmen that plays a fiddle. I would have loved more depth within each character, there is more to them than their traditions.

To touch the lives of children, to witness their listening and reading silence, is reward enough in itself.

I also wasn't a fan of the racist remarks in the book. While it may have been historically accurate to include, other parts of history were glossed over or excluded, and I feel like this also could have been excluded, especially as it mainly consisted of awful slur words that definitely do not add to the plot and isn't something that I'd personally want to introduce to the target audience of children. There’s a plague, a fever, call it what you will, sweeping this country, and it’s coming closer all the time.’ Could the fact that Irish people were prevented from fishing the rivers have anything to do with it? That the fishing rights were often owned by the landlords - many of them absentee landlords living in the UK?

To a degree, it is unnecessary, though it does let us know that the 'twist of gold' - the ancient torc of the O'Brien's must somehow have stayed in Annie's hands all the way from Ireland to California. On the various occasions it is lost and stolen, this provides a level of suspense as it seems immensely unlikely it can ever be retrieved. The production opens at Lighthouse Pooleon 19 May before touring to Mold, Bath, Eastbourne, Bury St Edmunds, Derby, Guildford, Malvern, Cambridge and Winchester, concluding at Darlingtonfrom 26-30 July 2022.

Ah fall (the season were we all collectively pretend to actually like pumpkin) is almost upon us. But however you feel about the season, I think it’s undeniable how pretty the autumn aesthetic is. Just think of the pretty reds, browns and oranges! Twist of Gold tells the story of Sean and Annie, and their tumultuous adventure from Ireland to America, in search of their father. In Ireland, the potato famine is raging, with people dying in poverty and squalor. To escape, Sean and Annie leave for America. Along the way, they encounter many good and bad people, but ultimately overcome all their troubles to finally find home.
