But We’re Right

Europe is not what it used to be. And things are changing too fast for AJ and Beibhinn. Their hometown is full of strangers and welcome signs, their friends and neighbours are all getting laid off – and nobody seems to care about them.

Stuck in patriotic slogans and the fear of being left behind, the girls start railing against “the foreigners”. Until one day, Beibhinn loses all security and needs to build herself a new life someplace else. Faced with this involuntary departure, the two suddenly need to reconsider what home really is, what being right means, and how far they are willing to go to keep things as they were.

“But We’re Right” is a politically provocative two-hander interrogating the question: Why do more and more young Europeans vote right? This piece of new, original work will mark the professional debut of theatre- maker Morghan Welt and composer Saoirse Miller. Funded and supported by the European Union and the Goethe-Institute, the play will celebrate its world premiere in Smock Alley Theatre this summer.
