Louise Lowe is a theatre and performance director, writer, choreographer, dramaturge, and, more recently, a television director and short film writer/director, working in Ireland and internationally. She is the Co-Artistic Director of ANU Productions, established with Owen Boss in Dublin in 2009. Lowe is known for facilitating and creating moments of interior reckoning for audiences through immersive performance techniques. These techniques engage spectators in affectively realised moments of understanding that the stories unfolding through performance reflect living histories in need of greater socio-political engagement and intervention. The Theatre of Louise Lowe (Cambridge UP, 2025) assesses Lowe's creative practice and production history since her days as a drama facilitator in women's prisons and resource centres in Dublin, paying particular attention to the economic struggle of Dublin's north inner-city, the markings of which are potently visible in the work she makes, and how she makes it.

Louise Lowe, wife of John and mother to two young boys was tragically taken from this world in 2014. This is her story, as told by John. John shares with us the sudden and unexpected passing of Louise and the days after where organ donorship was discussed and agreed to, because those were Louises wishes and fortunately something that John and Louise had discussed. Sometimes it's hard to find the words that do justice for a conversation and for me this is one such time. I sat both mesmerized and heartbroken as I listened to Louises story and tears welled in my eyes several times (so yeah, grab yourself some Kleenex before you get underway). Yet it is a story of love, hope, purpose and second chances that amidst a whirlwind of emotions will leave your heart full to the brim (I promise). I can't thank John enough for his willingness to share his families experience, and for his ability to do so in the way that he does. It is a gift that through an undeniable ripple-effect will ensure that more lives are positively impacted by organ donation and that future families faced with such tragic circumstances may have the comfort of certainty around knowing their loved ones wishes.

Sometimes, to make things happen, we need to go out on our own, to fly solo, and realise our inner vision. In this episode of Pantisocracy host Panti Bliss is with three people who did just that; musician and singer David Geraghty, theatre director and founder of Anu Productions, Louise Lowe, and queer, autistic novelist Naoise Dolan who is creating quite a stir with her debut work ‘Exciting Times’. David Geraghty, a founder member with the band BellX1, created a solo, alter identity, some six years ago, in Join Me in the Pines, and David performs two very apt songs for Panti Bliss ‘Two to Fall in Love’ inspired by the 2015 marriage equality vote, and ‘She Steps Into The Light’ starring, in the video he made, – a drag queen! pantisocracy.ie/s5-e5/ for more
