The Daughters Of Róisín

Locked in a room for nine months in a home she once called her own.

The Daughters of Róisín explores the harrowing history of church and state abuse against pregnant women out of wedlock in Ireland over the last 100 years.

Moving, angry and charged 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.

Excellent writing, brilliant performance and a really important story to tell. Heartbreaking, enraging and hilarious all at once. A must see!
