New Taibhdhearc show follows lives of young LGBTQ+ people on fateful night
Grindr, Saghdar agus Cher, An Taibhdhearc’s production for this year’s Arts Festival, features three young LGBTQ+ characters and their dramatic interwoven stories.
Being staged at An Taibhdhearc next week, it has replaced the play that originally appeared in the Festival programme, Dathanna Geala Amháin.
In this new drama, the audience is given three different perspectives of events that occur on one fateful night. It’s a night when a country man takes his first step across the threshold of the city’s gay bar, while a lesbian finds herself at a ‘Build a Willy’ event during her cousin’s hen party and a scene queen gives himself an unexpected haircut that only one other man will see.
Written and performed by Ciara Ní É, Eoin McEvoy and Sam Ó Fearraigh, Grindr, Saghdar agus Cher is directed by Stephen Darcy and presented by Fíbín sa Taibhdhearc.
The company describes Grindr, Saghdar agus Cher as an “energetic, urgent and thought-provoking” show, bringing the audience on a journey that explores the complexities, possibilities and dangers of being young and LGBTQ+ in contemporary Ireland.
The one-hour drama from Ciara, Eoin and Sam poses questions about just how understanding and accepting people really are in our ‘post-woke society’.
