The Prankqueans
About Us
Founded in 2019 the Prankqueans are an ensemble of artists inspired by ancient Celtic mythology to celebrate all things female and Irish Australian. Featuring acclaimed writers, musicians, singer-songwriters and performing artists, every show offers a theme explored through the careful curation of music, dance, poetry, prose and drama.
Audiences can look forward to an immersive, emotive and highly entertaining experience inspired by the beauty of the Irish language melding ancient Celtic culture with modern Irish literature. The Prankqueans have performed at prestigious venues including the State Library of New South Wales, the Irish Embassy in Canberra, the Powerhouse Arts Centre in Casula and the Gaelic Club in Surry Hills.
