“The story begins in 1970’s Belfast, where life for young Danielle is as troubled at home as it is on the streets.  Mistreated at home, expelled from school at fifteen and homeless at twenty.  Danielle feels like she is drowning.

But there are lifeboats around her, people who will save her, if only she can trust them enough to take their hand.  Be prepared for a roller coaster of emotion, a stunningly crafted script and a powerhouse performance.”

‘Becoming Marvellous’ has played to audiences in Armagh, Bangor, Belfast, Birmingham, Cork, Cushendun, Mountshannon and Stamford.  The show won The Saboteur Award for Best Spoken Word Show in 2022 and has been published by Flight of the Dragonfly Press in June 2024.
