Nothing But An Aul’ Weed

Written and performed by Fiona Maria Fitzpatrick

Dramaturg: Miriam Needham

A woman picks her way through the debris of her dark and dirty inner emotional wastelands, in search of hope, solace, or “some shite like that”. She’s run out of answers and dreams. But she knows that she must keep sifting, through the dirt, to find something. If nothing else, she knows Granny, God and the Dog are all watching… and waiting for her to come home. Can she recall and reclaim the lost bones of her past?

A gritty but witty story. Contains strong flowery language.
