Theatre of Pluck are presenting The Trouble with Harry on Tuesday 26th at the Sean Hollywood Arts Centre in Newry.
Theatre of Pluck is Northern Ireland's first publicly funded gay theatre company, producing quality and exciting work that explores issues of LGBT identity. Previous shows include Divided Radical And Gorgeous (DRAG) (2011-12) and Bison (2009-10), both of which received critical acclaim.
"Eugenia becomes Harry. Harry meets Annie. Trouble ensues. The Trouble with Harry is the thrilling new play by award winning Australian playwright Lachlan Philpott which tells the story of Eugenia Falleni, the notorious 'ManWoman' of Sydney in the early 1900's. Enjoying a unique place in Sydney’s bawdy history, Falleni’s story continues to fascinate.
An Italian immigrant, Falleni lived much of her life as a man - Harry Crawford - and served time in prison for the murder of her own wife.
This work takes an idiosyncratic look at the Falleni story, questions versions of this history and looks at contemporary debates and assumptions surrounding gender."
