The unstoppable Xthony (pictured) goes back to the future with rmation (The Lir Academy, September 17 to 22), a musical Confi memoir and poignant pop concert about growing up gay in Novoting Roscommon.
Spicebag co-founder Stefan Fae teams up with Undercurrent’s Lady K for Overfired (The Complex, September 17 to 21), a queer rattle and stomp through a selection of steamy musical delights.
Unwoman Part III (Samuel Beckett Theatre, September 8 to 16) brings a investigative and accusatory eye to what it means to be ‘unwoman’, from the creators at feminist theatre company The Rabble.
