Theatre

Polyester

Date: Wednesday, Jan 23 2019 - Thursday, Jan 24 2019
Venue: The Wardrobe Theatre

What do a measuring tape, a priest with a clamped car and a polyester frill have in common? They all mean something to Emily.

Follow Emily Souter Johnson on a heartwarming story of love and laughter to find out what that is. She will take you on a journey back to Dublin, back in time, to the week her father died. In her own words; “some of the most fun five days of her life”.

There will be sing-a-longs, stories, laughter and tears all served with a healthy dose of brandy.
