Brokentalkers presents
Masterclass
Written by Feidlim Cannon, Gary Keegan and Adrienne Truscott
TUE 25–WED 26 JUN
Live at The Everyman
Following an award-winning international tour, Masterclass returns to Ireland.
Featuring the savagely comedic feminist discourse of acclaimed New York artist Adrienne Truscott with the slippery dramaturgy of internationally renowned Brokentalkers, Masterclass parodies the “great male artist” to within an inch of his life in order to uncover some difficult truths about privilege and power.
The show begins in the form of a cockamamie masterclass performed by fed-up feminist Adrienne Truscott and all-around good guy Feidlim Cannon. It’s fun. It’s familiar. There are wigs. But there is something more at play. Using the arts world as a metaphor, Masterclass is a literate and hilarious examination of gender and power.
