Worlds Apart — Ronan Brady

Ever heard the one about the inter-county footballer who joined the circus?

Ronan Brady is a solid slab of the rarest Roscommon meat who had the most ‘rural’ of rural childhoods. Things were simple back then. He knew what he wanted: to play football for his county and become a teacher. And that’s exactly what he did..

Then the circus happened.

What began as a hobby ended up transforming his life, with hit shows, world tours and drag queens aplenty. But you can’t take the country out of the boy, and Ronan’s true journey was only just beginning.

Worlds Apart is an open and funny account of leaving one life in order to create another.

“An unflinching honest account”

“..uniquely captures how the rural rearing many of us had informs our worldview & how it can be turned on its head”

“It is raw, emotional, familiar, truly inspiring and provoking”

“No muted politeness here, remarkable honesty and self-awareness”

“..examining and reflecting on the limits of this patriarchal system. Unlearning and becoming, it is brave and honest.”
