FEMALE PARTS: ONE WOMAN PLAYS by Dario Fo & Franca Rame

Granary Theatre| 18 - 20 March | 8pm | €7/€5

Female Parts is a production which draws attention to female oppression but is, at the same time, shamelessly entertaining. It
explores the daily domestic chaos of a woman preparing herself for work and her baby for childcare, the dilemmas of a middle class
house-wife who is trapped and abused, and the struggles of an articulate, upwardly mobile newly pregnant intellectual woman.

WAKING UP: daily domestic chaos winds itself into the beginning of a
revolution.

A WOMAN ALONE: trapped cabin fever housewife armed with an iron
attempts to wrest control of her oppressive environment.

THE SAME OLD STORY: a paradoxical and comic interpretation of a woman
used as sexual object becomes a hilariously scatological twisted fairy
story.

Feminist farce! Fast, funny, smart and sexy. They may be chained to
the kitchen sink, but beware! The drawers are full of sharp things!

Featuring: Louise Brown, Irene Kelleher and Laura Harte.

"Rude, raucous and funny… they make their political point through entertainment."
