Description

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.

Bouquets & Brickbats (4.5/5 stars) 13 days ago

An ode to the women of Ireland, whose histories are too often forgotten ... The Daughters of Roísín is a thought-provoking, important piece of theatre, and I’m glad it’s found a home here at the Pleasance.

The Edinburgh Reporter (4/5 stars) 14 days ago

The Daughters of Róisín goes one step further, telling the story from within by giving one woman – every woman – her own vital, raw and unstoppable voice.
