‘SWEET ABOUT ME’
On Friday, March 15 at 8pm, Friars’ Gate hosts ‘Sweet about Me’ – a new solo show, written and performed by Jacinta Sheerin.
Set in a treatment centre and based on the lives of five characters, ‘Sweet About Me’ explores alcohol, heroin and cocaine addiction through the eyes of the central character, 18 year old Bernadette Fagan who has an eating disorder, a controlling mother and a body image to die for.
But food issues seem so trivial in comparison to the people with real problems like shooting heroin? Or does it?
‘Sweet About Me’ looks at how society views and ranks addiction. It aims to dispel myths and open our hearts to the toughest characters that we might judge in an every-day encounter.
Tickets €15/€12, info – 063-98727 / www.friarsgate.ie
