SUMMARY:Violet Gibson; The Woman Who Shot Mussolini
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday 22nd – Saturday 25th July @ 8pm\nplus Lunchtime shows: Thurs. and Fri. @ 1pm\nNoggin Theatre Company presents\nViolet Gibson;\nThe Woman Who Shot Mussolini\nWritten by Alice Barry\nOn 7 April 1926\, Violet Gibson\, an Irishwoman\, fired on Mussolini in the Piazza del Campidoglio in Rome — an act that grazed the dictator’s nose and reverberated across Europe. A century later\, that moment feels eerily current. As the world grapples with the resurgence of authoritarianism\, Gibson’s story serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of standing up for what is right\, even in the face of overwhelming adversity. This production offers a rare opportunity to delve into the psyche of a suppressed Victorian woman who defied societal norms and challenged the political establishment of her time. From her privileged upbringing in Ireland (her father was Lord Ashbourne) to her eventual confrontation with fascism\, audiences witness the gripping journey of a real woman driven by conviction and courage. \nAlice Barry delivers a mesmerising performance\, embodying the complexities and nuances of Violet Gibson’s character with unparalleled skill and emotional depth. Gibson’s legacy is honoured with authenticity and respect. \nThis is a timely exploration of power\, resistance\, and the enduring legacy of individuals who dare to challenge injustice. \nREVIEWS:\n“ … a visionary espousing a more dramatic\, interesting and influential role for women in society.”\n“…observational pearls too\, strung together by a very particular and engaged performance of an interesting woman who has been rescued from some of the dustier pages of history.” – Liam Heylin\, Evening Echo \nCAST & CREATIVE TEAM:\nWritten and Performed by Alice Barry\nDirector – Jason Byrne\nAssociate Director – Hanan Sheedy\nDesigner – Steve Neale \nRunning time: 112mins no interval\nAge recommendation: 13+ \nTickets: €20\, €18 concession\nplus booking fee \nBOOK TICKETS\n  \n
