This laugh-till-you-cry show arrives on the Theatre Jacksonville stage following critically acclaimed performances in Hollywood, Santa Monica, Chicago, Dublin and New York.  Maire Clerkin jumps in and out of hornpipe shoes in a provocative account of being English in Ireland, Irish in England and a pink-haired punk in a grey citry.  Pungent vintage photos of not-so-swinging London illustrate a bitter-comic personal history as the disappointing daughter of an Irish Dancing teacher in '70s England.  Amid astounding bursts of rhythm and physical theatre, this ugly-duckling-never-quite-swan recounts her experiences of sex and pubs and rock and roll like only a convent-educated girl can.  A scowling London-Irish misfit who should know better, in an outrageous antidote to Riverdance!  Starring Maire Clerkin.
