DADDY ISSUES

Brigid Leahy
A collage-style image of two women surrounded by repeated black-and-white portraits of Abraham Lincoln and another historical figure.

PRESENTED BY LEMONSOAP PRODUCTIONS

Abigail is carrying the cloned fetus of Abraham Lincoln. 

Joan is carrying the cloned fetus of Michael Collins.

They are making the future, making change, making...reality television. The cameras are rolling. 

On a reality TV show where historical legacy, political ideology and pregnancy are packaged for public consumption, two women begin to question what they have really signed up for. 

A dystopian dark comedy from Brigid Leahy and LemonSoap Productions about science, capitalism, control and the horrifying entertainment value of other people’s bodies. 

Funded by The Arts Council / An Chomhairle Ealaíon. Supported by Irish Theatre Institute (ITI) & the Abbey Theatre. Developed at Dublin Fringe Festival Studios.
