About Fempath
Written and performed by Fempath (Mari Moriarty), Transistor Radio Hour is a kaleidoscopic cabaret featuring original music and lyrics. The 60-minute show, staged at Dexter, explores queer history, bathroom politics, tarot, Alzheimer's disease, sexual assault, PTSD, immigration, fascism, addiction and disability. Whether you are drawn to piano, witches or phallic fruit, the show positions itself as a wide-ranging, genre-blending celebration and reckoning: from saints to slags, trans folk are never just one thing and neither is this cabaret.
Why see this show?
Fempath's cabaret tackles serious subjects without losing its sense of mischief — a rare combination. If you want a show that ranges freely across politics, identity and performance, this is an evening that earns its provocations.
