BOLD GIRLS

“Davey’s in the Kesh. Martin’s in the Kesh. Joe’s in the Kesh… and Michael is dead.”

West Belfast. 1991. A terraced house.

Outside, the Troubles are in full spate. Inside, three women hold the line at home while their absent men are lionised, loathed or lost.

Until a quiet young stranger unexpectedly turns up. As secrets surface and friendships and loyalties are tested, the stories these women tell themselves about love, family and sacrifice begin to crumble as they are forced to face unpalatable truths together.

Rona Munro’s multi-award-winning Bold Girls is a bitingly funny, fiercely compassionate portrait of female lives holding together a broken city with sheer grit and indefatigable gumption.

Centre Stage Theatre Company presents the first staging in 35 years in Northern Ireland of Munro’s contemporary classic that promises a night of raucous comedy and raw honesty.
