TheatreofplucK present the Irish premiere of the French sensation ‘Tuesdays At Tescos’ by Emmanuel Darley at The Market Place Theatre.

This award winning funny and moving new play about love and death among the aisles stars Belfast’s very own inimitable Peter Quigley in a tour-de-force performance.

It tells the story of Pauline, a loving daughter, carer and trans woman in an astonishing and vulnerable site-specific production. On Tuesdays, Pauline is a domestic goddess. At least that is what her elderly widowed dad calls her when she makes her weekly visit to do his housework and take him shopping. Only, her dad doesn’t mean it kindly. He says it with a sneer, and when they go out Pauline knows everyone is looking at her. That’s because Pauline grew up as Paul, and has begun a new life as the woman she always knew she really was. But just as there is no escape from the present realities of her new existence, there is no escape from the past on Tuesdays, when Dad taunts her that he can see her stubble in the jam aisle, and the check-out operator insists on referring to the pair as “gentlemen”.

What is unique about this show is that the actor will perform outside in Market Square whilst the audience watch from the downstairs theatre bar. The effect is vulnerable, exciting and unpredictably emotional.

‘Tuesdays At Tescos’ will be staged at The Market Place Theatre in Armagh on Thursday 17th July at 6.30pm. Tickets are priced £8 each, and can be booked through the Box Office on [028] 3752 1821, or online at www.marketplacearmagh.com Recommended for age 16+ as the production deals with themes of an adult nature.
