A play about female identities, growing up, online shopping, and how our objects shape us. 

For How Janelle Monáe Once Made Me Feel is a celebration of female friendship, and a search for physical connections within digital and isolated space. It explores the emotional realities, unfettered fantasies, and subverted expectations of entering adulthood. 

 

For How Janelle Monáe Once Made Me Feel was originally published by Fishamble: The New Play Company, an Olivier-award winning Irish theatre company in 2020, as part of their Tiny Play Challenge. It was later selected for production by Fishamble as part of their “Tiny Plays 24/7” online theatrical event. It was performed live in the O’Reilly Theatre, filmed, and distributed to an online audience, as a celebration of theatre’s resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic.
