A THISISPOPBABY AND ABBEY THEATRE PRODUCTION
After a lifetime of accidental activism, far-fetched shenanigans and making a full time show of herself, notorious drag queen Panti Bliss—the “Queen of Ireland”—is now taking a moment to question her purpose and place in this changing world.
Expect salacious stories, impassioned polemics, and some seriously funny soul searching as Panti takes us from rural Mayo to London’s West End, where - along the way - the answer to her question presents itself where she least expects it.
1hr 15min. No intermission.
