Somebody’s Daughter Theatre Company (SDTC) began running art workshops with women at Fairlea Women’s Prison over forty years ago. Weekly workshops continue with the women at Dame Phyllis Frost Centre and Tarrengower Women’s Prison to this day.
The artwork that emerges communicates a multitude of themes, voicing the women’s humanity, vulnerability and dreams. The satisfaction and sense of achievement the women experience can be life changing and in some cases, life saving.
The year’s workshops culminate annually in an exhibition of artworks alongside a theatre production woven from the women’s life stories delivered with humour, drama and song. The following images are from the 2024 production and exhibition titled “She’ll Be Apples.” More art to come in future editions!

The poem was written in the early weeks of being on remand, expressing my raw emotions while coming to terms with it all.
Here I sit inside my cell, thinking to myself, is this Hell? Cold and dark, with a terrible smell. I think it is, only time will tell.
A poem for the one true love of my life. I wish I could change the past, but I can only change my future.
