immersion-Dublin Grafton Street, Homeless Female, Age 19, b.1981

This 19 year old white woman lives on Grafton Street, and sometimes gets put up in a B & B.  She talks about the plight of homeless women in Dublin, her eating disorder, and her multiple suicide attempts.  This is a very dramatic piece that has been included in a play called "Displaced," about the state of being homeless around the world.  There are comedic moments as well. We sat and drank a beer in the rain on Grafton street while a quintet of high school girls played the Pachelbel Canon, the Entertainer, Danny Boy, etc. for tourists.  Local ragamuffins she referred to as "street rats" interrupt at a certain point.
