        The Conception Harbour Ironworkers Committee will be launching a play this summer which celebrates the history of Newfoundland's ironworkers.  The play, entitled "Living the High Life," was written by playwright Mary Ellen Doyle.  It is a full length play in two acts which focuses on the fictional Murphy family and explores the different aspects of an Ironworker life.  It is based on a young man, Mike Murphy, whose family has been involved in ironwork since the turn of the century, when the first skyscrapers went up in New York.  Ironworkers play  a significant role in the economic and social fabric of the people of Conception Bay Centre, where the play is set.
