The Trailer of Brigid Dinnegan at Axis Arts Centre Ballymun
As part of TRAVELLER PRIDE WEEK Axis Arts Centre Ballymun is hosting a rerun of the successful production The Trailer of Brigid Dinnegan. This is a chance to witness a show that is the result of an experimental 2-year process of research, development, adaptation and collaboration between theatre-maker and writer Dylan Tighe, Traveller activist Catherine Joyce, 11 Traveller women and a team of leading theatre artists. The production updates Lorca's classic Spanish tragedy, The House of Bernarda Alba, from the 1930's to a present-day Travellers' halting site and features Traveller women as the performers.
"In its focus on tensions surrounding social mores, tradition, gender conventions and especially female experience, the piece manages to illuminate real issues affecting Traveller culture, often through a range of interesting design and directorial choices." -Irish Theatre Magazine
