Announcing THE DAUGHTERS OF IRE Co-Benefit Production

By: A.A. Cristi May. 07, 2018

Announcing THE DAUGHTERS OF IRE Co-Benefit Production Image Ferocious, fragile and funny women from Irish legend claw their way into 2018. A modern Seanchai brings to life women from Ireland's Ulster Cycle, including Scathach, Queen Medb, and Dierdre of the Sorrows.

Savanna Rae has crafted a script that's biting, fierce, hilarious, sexy, and unsentimental-not to mention full of contradictions and incisive feminist political and cultural analysis. At first glance one might ask: what is the relationship between women of ancient Irish myth and contemporary social justice? With Daughters of Ire, Rae illustrates the powerful link between how we construct women of the past (fictional and actual) and how we imagine possibilities for self-identifying women in the future.

This production is made possible through the generosity of Producer Tim Klein, and is a brought to you as a co-benefit with Open Door Theater. Oak Park Festival Theatre and Open Door Theatre are both proud non-profits serving the Oak Park River Forest area.

75 minutes with no intermission. TICKETS. General admission $24 special co-benefit price. Tickets and More info at OakParkFestival.com.
