Overview

Forbidden Bonds is a new historical short film, from author Maria Nolan and filmmaker Dick Donaghue. A tale of Love, Duty, Treachery and Murder in Enniscorthy Castle in 1240 as 16 year old Maud de Prendergast (Katie Cloke) battles with feelings of love for a freeman (David Doyle), and her father's political ambitions (Jer Ennis).
