New York woman sent to live with nuns in Glasnevin during childhood set to return to perform one-woman show
Briefly

When I started shooting heroin my parents kept sending me to Ireland to boarding schools, which didn't work. But I got a good education. I lived in a convent boarding school in Glasnevin and I woke up in the morning looking at the cemetery. There were a bunch of nuns who weren't kind, and they didn't know what to do with me.
I remember Nelson's Pillar being blown up. I remember there were some great clubs. I was wild. I must have been 13 or 14. I was getting into all these clubs. I remember I had a boyfriend in Dublin, I loved him.
This will be a whole new reintroduction to Dublin for me. It's my mission to honour my ancestors. When my mother died, she had Alzheimer's. I lived with her for the last eight years of her life.
