AND THE ROPE STILL TUGGING HER FEET Tours UK in 2017
Inspired by 1984's Kerry Babies scandal. A dark, comic take on a time in Ireland when "The most dangerous place to be was in a woman's womb" Bishop Joseph Cassidy. The play is dedicated to women who have suffered at the hands of mistaken ideologies, particularly those who have suffered the loss of a child. And it's also funny, because the Irish, despite everything, are.
"Never sit on a boy's lap unless you have the thickness of a telephone directory between you"
