0 Male 1 Female
Two new hilarious confessional plays from giants of Irish comedy exploring lives and politics in contemporary Ireland
Haunted by Tara Flynn
What happens when you hit the floor and lose all of your marbles?
Ask Tara Flynn, a fame-adjacent actor turned advocate for the campaign to Repeal Ireland’s Eighth Amendment
The country voted Yes and the whirlwind of publicity and abuse came to an end, and crashing to the floor is where Tara found herself
Down there, she realised the whirlwind had conveniently kept her from dealing with the death of her dad
This is one woman’s journey back from the floor
A funny, moving tale of grief, campaigning for civil rights, the offline impact of online abuse, crashing to the ground and fighting to tell your own story
If These Wigs Could Talk by Panti Bliss
If These Wigs Could Talk meets Panti, a drag queen at fifty-three, after a lifetime of showbiz, shenanigans and making a show of herself, taking this moment to question what her purpose and place in the world is now
Via salacious stories, impassioned polemics, some seriously funny soul searching and a few unvarnished truths, Panti takes us from rural Mayo to London’s glittering West End to the Ambassador’s residence in Vienna where, along the way, the answer to the question presents itself when she least expects it
Panti warmly invites you to learn from her mistakes, laugh at her failures and revel in her triumphs
