Grace Dyas brings her play Heroin to Cork

HEROIN, a play about addiction to the drug, and written by artist and activist, Grace Dyas, is coming to Cork as part of a national tour.

First staged in 2010, Heroin’s themes include housing, mental health, the economy and citizenship. But its heart is how people value each other and why they take drugs.

Dyas grew up in Rialto, Dublin, between Fatima Mansions and Dolphin House, and was aware of drugs and addiction from a young age.
