This piece will engage older members of this community, to hear their stories and present a piece that celebrates an often forgotten section of Irish society. We will create something contemporary and current with stories that are often overlooked, with Br\u00fa Theatre having strong form on creating contemporary theatre inspired by our past. Workshops and a public sharing will occur in November and December 2025.&nbsp; The piece will then also be presented in an Taibhdhearc as part of the Tonnta festival on Jan 31st 2025. Br\u00fa will work with their creative team and members of the LGTBQ+ identified through a call out in late Oct 2024.
