Fruit

A new podcast series presented by LemonSoap Productions in association with Once Off Productions

Fruit is a moving and hilarious new six part audio series being released this summer by LemonSoap Productions. Telling the story of the flirtations, trials and tribulations of four LGBTQ+ gals in Dublin City today, Fruit brings fabulous new writing, emerging talent and some of Ireland’s biggest gay icons directly into your airpods.

Fruit, through the lens of queer lives, loves & friendships, tackles topics including what is to be trans today; queerness in the workplace; the difficulty of finding a home in a hostile city; and the still prevalent stigmatisation of a HIV+ diagnosis, while celebrating the complexities and joys of Ireland’s LGBTQ+ community.

With an exciting cast of emerging queer performers, icons of stage and screen, and some familiar famous voices, Fruit promises to be a unique contemporary take on modern Dublin.
