Audience reviews:
"Beautiful play by Jennifer Dempsey on her life in Belfast in the 80s and 90s. From a disillusioned student to the director of the Belfast Circus - she tells a very personal story with wit, vigour and passion - I even shed a wee tear."`
"I learned more about the Irish conflict than I ever knew. I’m still thinking about it. Brilliant performance."
"It was an Irish history lesson delivered thru the lens of a young American on a special journey."
