The first ever all-female home-produced theatre production featuring three stand-alone short productions by prominent Belfast playwrights.
Writing for the theatre for the first time, Dawn Purvis’ play Picking Up Worms, tells of a child’s observation of life on a Belfast street during the Ulster Worker’s Strike in May 1974. In Two Sore Legs, Ballymurphy playwright, Brenda Murphy tells the extraordinary (true) story of her mother having six children to a married man who lived with his own family around the corner. Jo Egan’s play, Sweeties, tells a stunning story of two sisters with conflicting memories about a life-changing incident from their childhood.
