About

'Becoming Marvellous' performed by Cathy Carson

From brokenness to brilliance.

A testament to how love can alter the trajectory of life.

This powerful performance takes us back to 1970's Belfast, where young Danielle navigates a life as dangerous at home as it is in the streets. A story packed with tears, laughter and heart. 'Becoming Marvellous' is a triumph in survival and resilience. Be prepared for a rollercoaster of emotion from a stunningly crafted script and a powerhouse performance by Cathy Carson.

Cathy Carson is a celebrated writer and spoken word performer whose work combines poetry and storytelling to explore human connection. In 2022, 'Becoming Marvellous' won the Saboteur award for Best Spoken Word Show, and in 2024, the play was published by Flight of the Dragonfly Press.
