Hello! Tell us about yourself? 

We are tasteinyourmouth, a theatre company based in Dublin, made up of Grace Morgan, William Dunleavy and Laoise Murray. We make experimental work for theatre and non theatre spaces that is shiny, uncanny and feminist. Working collaboratively with artists of different backgrounds we create experiences for people who aren’t looking for all the answers but delight in the questions.

Tell us all about your show! 

You’re Needy (sounds frustrating) is an offsite piece to be performed in a bathroom with one performer for one audience member which premiered in Dublin Fringe and was nominated for Best Production.

The piece is an exploration of the insidious ideology of the “wellness” industry and its intersection with capitalism. It looks at the ways in which both seek to control women’s bodies under the label of “self-care”. Along the way, it touches on sleep, monotony, meditation and medication in the twenty-first century. And, of course, Gwyneth Paltrow. 

What other acts are you looking forward to seeing at the Fringe? 

Bryony Kimmings new show Show Pony, Instructions by Nathan Ellis and A History of Fortune Cookies by Sean Wai Keung. We’re also looking forward to seeing work by fellow Irish artists including; Chicken by Eva O’Connor,    CRAWLER (Jessie Thompson) ,  HYPER (Ois O’Donoghue/Jaxbanded Theatre),  Impasse (Mufutau Yusuf)   In Two Minds by Joanne Ryan and  The Weight Of Shadow (Sasha Krohn)
