Becoming Tallaght

Becoming Tallaght Performance Arts Festival 2025

16:15—16:45, Thursday, 25 SeptemberDuration: 30 minutesLocation: St.Mary's Priory Oh dear Tallaght Priory, your brutal 1970s concrete arches loom over the new families of husbands, wives and the many children that make up this growing townland. Behind you, frock-clad men spew forth twisted ideas about women, the family, sexual morality, contraception, abortion and homosexuality. My peachy baby head was dowsed with holy water over your baptismal font in 1973. I didn’t ask to become a member of your rotten organisation, and I have no recourse to leave. So 52 years later, I’m back to prance and dust away cobwebs from your concrete arches like the big pansy that you abhor. This is, after all, my church.
