The story begins in 1970’s Belfast. Where life at home is as troubled for young Danielle as it is on the streets. Mistreated at home, expelled from school at 15 and homeless by 20, Danielle feels like she is drowning. But there are life boats around her. People who will save her, if only she can trust them enough to take their hand.
Becoming Marvellous written and performed by Cathy Carson opened in Armagh to rave reviews and travelled to Birmingham, Stamford, Cork and Bangor. It is due to show in Belfast in Feb 2023.
Unafraid, unflinching, heartbreaking and heartwarming , this semi autobiographical show will take you through a roller coaster of emotion. Be prepared for a stunningly crafted script and a powerhouse performance.
