dublinitgirl_vs_dartlinediva: rap battle royale

Harry Hennessy
A woman is seated on a bench featuring vibrant graffiti, set against a city backdrop.

Meet dublinitgirl, genderqueer icon.  

Recently, she hung up her 365 party girl boots. Ever since she met her county player, she’s turned into a trad wife. But he has a sordid past: meet dartlinediva, stun-hun extraordinaire. See, she wasn’t too happy when he dropped her for a… well, she wouldn’t want her choice of words in print.  

So what happens when Dublin’s messiest queens turn on one another? And shouldn’t they know better by now? Never fight over a man....  

This show is a queer feminist discourse expressed through the highly sexualised and highly confrontational language of a twenty first century rap battle.
