Rachel Galvo: The Shite Feminist review – swaggering comedy about religion and privilege at an all-girls school
Pleasance Dome, Edinburgh In an eyebrow-raising debut, Galvo shares not very fond memories of her education in Ireland
Rachel Galvo ditched a career in business a few years back, fleeing Dublin for London drama school – where she wrote what is now The Shite Feminist, her first standup show. As the name implies, and her intro (“Ladies, and hopefully not too many gentlemen …”) confirms, it’s not made with the likes of me in mind. But there’s still plenty to enjoy for sheepish men in the crowd, as the 25-year-old shares not very fond memories of life at an all-girls private Catholic school on the other side of the Irish Sea.
At least initially, it’s no great sob story, and not only because Galvo openly admits (and sends up) how pampered and privileged a childhood she had. But the religious education she depicts can still raise eyebrows, even if Galvo’s account of it (fetishising Jesus, or observing that the Bible’s only templates for femininity are “a virgin and a prostitute”) feels well-worn. It’s less the superstition that shocks you than the sexism, as Galvo, like her schoolmates, is prepped to become – in her words – “the highly educated stay-at-home wife of a rugby player”.
Dobrodošli na platformu „Globalni medijski internet pregledač“sedmasila.com
Platforma Sedma Sila je velika online baza newspaper medija iz celog
sveta sa tendecijom konstantnog rasta. Projekat je pokrenut u Srbiji
2016 godine od strane nekolicine kreativnih i ambicioznih ljudi.
Platforma je na web-u dostupna za sve korisnike internet mreže od
Septembra 2020 godine. Stalno radimo na razvoju i i unapređenju
jedinstvenog univerzalnog modula koji će biti zajednički za sve online
newspaper medije. Trenutno na World Wide Web ne postoji javno dostupna
kompletna baza svih medija, uređena tako da korisnicima pruži
jednostavan izbor i brz pristup. Vezano za medije, Google, Facebook i
ostali pretraživaći nude drugačiji concep baze u odnosu na Sedma Sila.
Stalno radimo na poboljšanju funkcionalnosti i dizajniranju platforme.
Naša Misija je da medijske informacije dostupne na Webu, prikupimo,
kategorijski uredimo i prezentujemo korinicima kroz „Novi Internet
Concept“.
Nismo zadovoljni onim što smo uradili. To nas pokreće da nastavimo sa
usavršavanjem projekta.
