DRAMA ON ONE

Broken Promise Land by Mirjana Rendulic

Sick of life in her war-torn country, guided by MTV hits and Hollywood sitcoms, Stefica takes on a new name and embarks on a quest for an American education, and ends up in a Dublin lap dancing club. With frankness and humour, she teaches us the tricks of the trade–and shares secrets she can’t tell anyone else. Based on performer Mirjana Rendulic’s own experiences, and directed by Aoife Spillane-Hinks (The King’s Feet, The Yellow Wallpaper, Marvel), this piece dispels easy preconceptions about exotic dancers. Broken Promise Land premiered as a stage play in March 2013.
