PEA DINNEEN: RAISING HER VOICE
Written and performed by Pea Dinneen

A trans fantasia Devised in collaboration with Ronan Phelan and Paul Prior.

How do you raise a voice? How do you get a whole country to hear it?

Well, with 90s pop bangers adapted to fit a playful, subversive personal narrative about transgender liberation in the face of an uncaring system – OBVIOUSLY. Join niche cabaret legend Pea Dinneen and her fabulous band for this world premiere.

This is as much a play about three decades in the history of a nation as it is a vast ongoing vanity project from a disenfranchised millennial hag.

Premiered September 2025 at Project Arts Centre as part of Dublin Fringe Festival.

Supported by Axis Ballymun, Pavilion Theatre, Irish Theatre Institute and Fishamble’s New Play Clinic. Co-commissioned by Project Arts Centre and Draíocht Blanchardstown. Developed with the assistance of The Abbey Theatre Amharclann Na Mainistreach. Funded by Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council and the Arts Council / An Chomhairle Ealaíon.
