OUTBURST ARTS | Teenage Rebel in the GPO 1983

Acclaimed storyteller and homoseanchaí Richard O’Leary returns to Outburst with a brilliant new 30-minute Irish language storytelling performance, with opening support from Rainbow Reels, the LGBTQIA+ community Trad Music Group. Please note that English translation will not be provided for Richard’s performance.

A tale of official secrets and hidden love in the General Post Office in Dublin.
A tale of vast sums of money, paper trails and telephone calls.
Richard O’Leary was there and has the physical evidence to show you.
An incredible story, like an Irish fairy tale but this one is true…

Richard’s previous storytelling work includes Array Collective’s The Druthaib’s Ball,
their Turner Prize winning work in 2021, and the solo storytelling shows There’s a
Bishop in my Bedroom and Border Fairies.

In partnership with Cultúrlann McAdam Ó Fiaich

Ticket Pricing:
Art is for everyone and all are welcome at Outburst. Money shouldn’t be a barrier to enjoying queer art, so we have some free events and always keep our ticket prices as low as possible, while also ensuring that artists and workers are paid fairly.

Low on dosh? We have a number of £5 access tickets you can book. If that’s still a stretch, we also offer a number of free event tickets for those who need them. Just use promo code hairball to access one on the usual booking links.

If you have a bit extra to spare, we’ve introduced a Supporter Ticket this year, where you can pay an extra few pounds on top of the regular ticket price to help us to make the festival accessible to others.
