“Most of us enter this world.
To find love and laughter.
Then for some poor nippers.
They’re born to disaster.”
Rogue follows the breakneck journey of a young Dublin woman as she races from domestic abuse to homelessness, until ultimately breaking through adversity to hope. Rogue holds a mirror up to the homeless crisis in Ireland, with the protagonist’s trajectory depicting the stark reality of how precarious any individual’s living situation truly is.
Written by critically acclaimed playwright Lee Coffey and directed by Irish Times Award winner Tracy Ryan, Rogue will be performed by the Gaiety School of Acting’s graduating class of 2021. The play promises to be a fast paced energetic experience that is underpinned by heart and connection; something which is synonymous with the work of both Coffey and Ryan.
