Free
performances of a new One Act play written by Mario Corrigan and
directed by Lianne O'Shea:
The play will be performed free to a selection of students from schools
in Co. Kildare on Thursday and Friday mornings, so if your school is
interested then contact us.
The development of a play and production of a resource pack for schools in Kildare is part of Kildare County Council's Decade of Commemorations Programme
The idea behind the play was to introduce the audience to the issues behind the Rising in a different way; to make them interpret or re-interpret the Rising and examine why it happened, what happened and the impact it had not just on the nation's history, but the people of Ireland.
