No.9

Overview

Anna Robinson presents in association with Eilis McGowan and Soda Road

No.9 returns after 2022’s critically acclaimed sold out run!

Rosa needs to learn how to use a washing machine, buy her own groceries, get up for uni on time and….. how to report a sexual assault.

No.9 uses humour and sparkle to tell a very real story inspired by very real events. Well… one… actually. And it was anything but funny.

What were you wearing? How much did you drink?  And really… not being, y’know, but… it could’ve been worse!

Join Rosa as she uppercuts her way through the reactions of those who almost certainly haven’t danced in her worn out boxing-boots. As she weaves her way through archaic injustices we’ve almost come to expect.

An original voice, in an all too familiar situation. Ding! Ding! Gloves up, and fight!

‘Ever feel like sticking two fingers up to silver linings?
