Live Theatre Events in Laois: The Perfect Immigrant at Dunamaise Arts Centre
On Thursday, October 19th, 2023, at 8pm, The Perfect Immigrant comes to the Dunamaise Arts Centre in County Laois.
With a story woven through prose and poetry, you will shift in your seat as you are teased with the discomfort of this immigrant settling into a new land. Take sides as loyalty to home is torn by the promise of the new. But the real question is, where do you buy a hot pepper in Lucan? What else does a young Black man have to say if it isn’t about racism? Too busy trying to be an adult, leaving Nigeria and settling in Ireland, he has to find a way to hold on to both worlds.
Tickets for the show are priced €20/€18.
