A new play by Bellaray Bertrand-Webb
Dublin, County Dublin, Ireland
Aim
We are fundraising for the premiere of a brand new play, coming to Dublin this September. Please help us make our vision a reality.
We have stretched our target from £5,500 to £7,000 thanks to all the generous donations so far!
What’s this all about?
We are fundraising for a show, which will premier in Dublin this September 2023. This play will mark Bellaray's debut as a playwright. We would tell you the name but it breaches Crowdfunder Terms & Conditions. (Think more age rating - 15 rather than X rated).
We are also on a press embargo at the moment, so we can't specifically tell you the details of the project just yet. But we sure are excited to fill you all in, when the time comes!
The journey of this play began when Bellaray met Ursula on the MFA program at The Lir Academy, Dublin in 2020. Since then we have wanted to work together and now after 3 years, we have finally been given the opportunity and platform to do so!
The sneakiest of peaks
What you can expect - a comedic satire that explore office politics, friendship, contradicting life decisions, messed up rent realities, silliness and all the dog poo on the streets of Dublin.
