The Deliciously Scandalous Life and Times of Miss Peg Plunkett - On Demand

Recorded live at the Junction Dome Clonmel on July 8 2021

Tipperary born writer/ actress Eve O'Mahony returns with her second one-woman show ‘The Deliciously Scandalous Life & Times of Miss Peg Plunkett". Based on ‘The Memoirs of Mrs.Leeson’, one of the earliest salacious "tell-all's", an old and repentant madam, seeking absolution, reflects on her life and loves and how it all came to pass. ‘The Cute Whore’ shines a light on Georgian Ireland, folklore and political politics of the era. It tells the story of yet another fascinating Irish woman; Peg Plunkett- brothel-keeper, courtesan, mistress, writer, gossip-columnist and penitent. Eve O’Mahony’s theatre work as writer/performer includes ‘The Bold Bridget Cleary’ which premiered at the 2018 Clonmel Junction Arts Festival, and won Best Actress at the Galway Fringe Festival. It chronicles Plunkett’s life from her childhood to her fall from grace. Funny, moving and animated by Eve’s enigmatic stage presence.‍Eve is a writer and performer from Clonmel, Co.Tipperary.
