History of Ireland is a new show for 4 women (and a sack of potatoes) using theatre, comedy and dance.

Dressed in traditional Irish dance costume and wigs, 4 ‘ex-Irish dance champions’ will treat you to a taste of Ireland. From the Druids to Michael Flatley’s mother, Moxie Brawl take a look at the stereotypical view of Ireland from leprechauns and Guinness to folklore and myths and attempt to re-write the history of Ireland by highlighting Irish women’s achievements often forgotten in history books, such as their role during the Civil War and winning the right to vote, along with legends such as Queen Maeve of Connach, Biddy Early and B*Witched! We will also talk about the struggles Irish women faced in the laundries and how in 2016, abortion is still illegal. It will be loud, thoughtful, fun, slightly crazy and very green.
