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.

Supported by Axis Ballymun, Pavilion Theatre, Irish Theatre Institute and Fishamble’s New Play Clinic. 
Co-commissioned by Project Arts Centre and Draíocht Blanchardstown. 
Developed with the assistance of The Abbey Theatre Amharclann Na Mainistreach. 
Funded by Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council and the Arts Council / An Chomhairle Ealaíon.
