Arch 468 & Laura Wyatt O’Keeffe presents: Vessel (online)

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

After a sell out performance here at Poplar Union, multi-award nominated Irish writer Laura Wyatt O’Keeffe will be making her show, Vessel, available to stream on our YouTube channel for 24hrs only, as part of our Women in Focus Festival.

What to expect

Ireland, 2018. Abortion is illegal. Another underage pregnant girl dies. Doctor’s receptionist Maia impregnates herself intentionally to stage a public protest for legalisation. But as the nation divides and press attention surrounding her intensifies, can she protect her loved ones from being caught in the crossfire?

A new play by multi-award nominated Irish writer and performer Laura Wyatt O’Keeffe, Vessel is a challenging reminder of the lies and legacies we inherit and the potential power of the individual in the digital age.

This is a digital performance of Vessel recorded by AppleCart Arts.

The YouTube link will be sent to you on Tuesday 8 March. The show will be available to watch for 24hrs. Make sure you add the email address you’d like the link set to when booking.
