  It makes good sense, anyway, to Limerick-born, New York-based George Heslin, prime mover of 1st Irish both 2008 and 2009 and founder/artistic director of the Origin Theatre Company, a springboard for launching new European playwrights in America.
  
  “It’s all about risk-taking,” says Heslin.

  George Heslin, artistic director of Origin Theater Company, recalls with a laugh that when he was putting together New York's first Irish theater festival, called 1st Irish 2008, "the process was shockingly organic."
  
  From Saturday to Sept. 28 nine companies will present the plays of 13 writers at five locations, including a reading at the American Irish Historical Society on Fifth Avenue. (The full schedule is at origintheatre.org.) Heslin attracted high-level sponsors, including government agencies.
  ...
  For Heslin, the idea for the festival was born in frustration.The Origin Theater Company's mission is to bring European theater to New York, and he wanted to show New York a cross section of the best of contemporary Irish work, much of which is unknown here.He did include a new adaptation of an Oscar Wilde children's story, and one Conor McPherson piece (unseen here for six years), but most of the productions are New York premieres.Heslin, who came to New York from Limerick in 1994, said he hoped that eventually presenters at the festival would begin taking their work to the Dublin Theater Festival, which takes place in late September and early October.
  ...
  Heslin said that in organizing the festival, including women's voices was part of his aim.Of his own Origin Theatre Company, he boasted: "On Facebook every organization has to have a gender.
