I see that Louis MacNeice has triggered a small-scale literary war on the blog while I've been away filming with the Blueprint team. We'll be discussing MacNeice's legacy on Sunday morning with the critic Edna Longley and the poet Gerald Dawe. We'll also we talking to Owen McCafferty about his play "which is finally being staged in Belfast. I'm going to the preview of the production tomorrow night at the Waterfront Hall's studio theatre and post a review here this weekend. I'll also let you in on what the Blueprint team has been up to in Mountsandel, the Sperrins, Movanagher, and Nendrum -- and how most of the production crew had to be rescued from a makeshift catamaran on a rocky section of the River Bann.
