Was I Not A Girl

WESTIVAL

When Louis, a modern-day transgender man, struggles to embrace his own identity, he turns to someone he thinks will understand: a queer doctor named James Barry. The only problem? James Barry died in 1865. As Louis delves into the annals of history, he discovers that not every historical figure wants their story told. Can we ever truly let the dead rest? Past and present collide as two explosive personalities explore our ever-evolving definitions of manhood across 200 years of history. Written by Montgomery Quinlan, Directed by Jodie Sweeney, Performed by Cian Colbert & Montgomery Quinlan, Costume Design by Cat Heneghan.

Complimentary drinks reception for all ticketholders in the hotel bar immediately following the performance, kindly sponsored by the Quinlans.
