That’s Soo Povo
I’m about to flip this kip upside down and inside out.
Gerrup Gerra your ma’s your da.
When Chantelle and Craoí, two working class Dublin drama students, lock horns over The Plough and the Stars, their combined rage brings forth Queen Povo, a drag-drenched larger-than-life entity who forces the girlos and the audience to examine what they’re thinking about when they think of class.
This riotous, razor-sharp debut crashes through class, art, and authenticity with wit, grit, and glitter. A juicy-tracksuit clad call to arms for anyone who’s ever felt too loud, too real, or just too povo.
Supported by Big Ambitions: a Dublin Fringe Festival & Fishamble: The New Play Company partnership, axis Ballymun, TCA & F2 Centre Rialto. Developed at Dublin Fringe Festival Studios.
