Pam worked with Irish elders living in London and created a play in 1988. She carried out interviews, followed by in-depth interviews with individuals in their own homes using churches and Irish clubs acting as primary social focuses. There was a strong feeling that Ireland was still home, that ties with that country remained strong with families I frequent touch and often visiting. Many people in their old age nursed hopes of returning to Ireland fo their final years.

The title of the play was "Across the Irish Sea"
