How far would you go for a cause you believed in?

Multi-award nominated performer, writer and creative facilitator Laura Wyatt O’Keeffe will bring ‘Vessel’ to Artillery Street on Friday, March 20.

‘Vessel’ tells the story of Ireland, 2018. Abortion is still illegal, another pregnant girl dies and Maia is forced into action- a story that could divide a nation, win or lose a vote, and make history.

This multi-award nominated, five star play challenges the choices we are given, uproots the lies and the legacies we inherit, and boldly protests for the power of the individual.
