A new show set against the backdrop of Catholic Ireland and the Irish Women's Liberation Movement is set to open this weekend at The Mill Theatre in Dundrum.
Sisters follows Bernadette Boland, a single mother shunned by her community, her sister Kathleen, a newlywed dreaming of a perfect life, and the youngest, Noleen, a shop girl eager to embrace the sexual revolution. Bernadette takes a job Gaj’s, a restaurant that existed on Lower Baggot Street which hosted weekly meetings of the Irish Women's Liberation Movement (IWLM).
Bernadette gets swept up in the movement and she embarks on a journey towards self empowerment. The musical celebrates the pioneering women of the past and pays homage to those who lit the fire of change in Ireland, promising to be both entertaining and deeply moving.
