Pea Dinneen: Raising Her Voice

A trans fantasia Devised in collaboration with Ronan Phelan and Paul Prior.  

How do you raise a voice? How do you get a whole country to hear it?  

Well, with 90s pop bangers adapted to fit a playful, subversive personal narrative about transgender liberation in the face of an uncaring system – OBVIOUSLY. Join niche cabaret legend Pea Dinneen and her fabulous band for this world premiere.  

This is as much a play about three decades in the history of a nation as it is a vast ongoing vanity project from a disenfranchised millennial hag.
