Sacrament
You know when you tell yourself a particular story about who you are and how you got where you are and where you’re going and then something happens and you have to tell yourself a different story to make sense of yourself to yourself?
A little girl in a first communion dress cossetted by family in Catholic Ireland dreams of the next time she will wear a white dress to Mass. But then she grows up. And as her music taste evolves, so does her relationship with God (if there is one), love (but sure what does that even mean?), and sex (but shhh don’t tell her Granny). One day, sexuality suddenly seems to threaten her relationships with her faith, her family and the future she has always imagined for herself. Sacrament is a play which examines how a new generation of Irish young people relate to their country's religious heritage and whether it is possible to reconcile religion with an empowered sense of sexuality. Our latest show SACRAMENT was commissioned by and is a co-production with the Theatre Upstairs in Dublin and will be performed from the 10th-25th November 2017 |
