🎭 FULL CIRCLE – Live Theatre (Free Event)

A sharp, honest two-voice story about disability, identity, and taking back your power.

From an ambulance school bus to Trinity College Dublin, Full Circle is funny, political, and deeply human — a story about refusing to be defined by limitation and owning your own narrative.

Developed as part of the Page To Stage project with the Sean O’Casey Arts Festival 2025.

📅 Wednesday, April 22nd
🕜 1:30 PM
📍 The Sean O’Casey Theatre, East Wall

Stay after for a Q&A and a cup of tea ☕
