Noreen dreams of emulating the success of her mother, the famous poet, author and feminist-activist Genevieve de Lacy. ISOLDE FENTON / IN A BAD WAY  Grá is sick. With what, she’s not sure. But it’s there, absolutely. Definitely. Maybe. IN A BAD WAY is a darkly comic one woman show about hypochondria. Block 2: 4pm -5.30pm (Doors 3.30pm)  DOROTHÉE KAREKEZI / THE BIG CHOP  The Big Chopis a dramedy that follows the lives of three women on a journey of self discovery and empowerment. It tackles identity, social norms and personal growth, showing how something as simple as a haircut can symbolise deep transformation. JOHN FRANCIS SCALLY / THE SAD PANTO  A musical horror comedy, a cross-genre piece of political commentary, using varying formats of theatre to tell a complex, strange, entertaining, heartfelt story about shared suffering, the way people deal with it, and the importance of remaining hopeful in the face of monolithic structures.
