The Bad Arm, Confessions of a Dodgy Irish Dancer
The Bad Arm - Confessions of a Dodgy Irish Dancer is a one-woman show written and performed by Máire Clerkin and directed by Dan O'Connor. It was performed at Bang Theatre in Hollywood in 2008, to enthusiastic audiences and fabulous reviews! Máire is now planning to take the show on tour.
If you thought Irish dancers were all curly-haired cutie-pies with perfect posture, meet a scowling girl from London in this outrageous antidote to 'Riverdance'.
This hour long comic play is an uproarious yet poignant one-woman play by London-Irish writer-performer Máire Clerkin. Amid astounding bursts of rhythm and physical theatre, this ugly-duckling-never-quite-swan recounts her experiences of sex and booze and rock and roll like only a convent-educated Irish catholic girl can.
Máire Clerkin jumps in and out of Irish dancing shoes, clicking and kicking her way across the stage in this percussive account of being English in Ireland, Irish in England and a pink-haired punk in a grey city. Pungent vintage photos of not-so-swinging London illustrate Clerkin's woeful but hilarious personal history as the disappointing daughter of a successful Irish Dancing teacher in 1970s London. Clerkin's 'glorious riffs of traditional Irish dance animated impersonations and snapshot transitions' (LA WEEKLY) deliver an hour of rich, dark comedy.
