Explores the impact of church and state collusion on pregnant women in Ireland / Depiction of a child being removed from its mother
Journey with Ireland’s daughters as they battle the shame of pregnancy out of wedlock.
A hard-hitting play that explores the harrowing history of church and state-sanctioned abuse against pregnant women out of wedlock in Ireland over the last 100 years. Moving, angry and fuelled with fiery activism, this one-woman show is a rallying cry for women everywhere to rise up, stand tall and eradicate Ireland's ancient shame. Inspired by Aoibh Johnson's great-grandmother, the play has toured widely across Ireland and the UK, including sell-out shows in London, Belfast and Dublin. The play also had its Australian debut at the Adelaide Fringe in 2019.
The Daughters of Róisín plays to audiences in Belfast before it's Edinburgh Fringe run, made possible by a partnership with The Pleasance Theatre Trust as part of the Edinburgh National Partnerships.
“This play is allowing women and their families affected by this history, to hold their heads up high and feel understood for the first time in decades. A Must See”
