Many people are seeking out ways to soak up the arts online, and many more are really missing their local theatres. A Waterford Virtual Theatre Show will stream on facebook this Sunday April 26th at 8pm. Wayne Brown is co-ordinating it, and he had all the details for me On the Fringe. You can listen back here...
WLR’s radio drama series Youthquake is back and will air On the Fringe for the next five weeks.
Developed and performed by transition year students from St Augustines Dungarvan, The Ursuline convent, De La Salle college and Newtown school, the five plays tell the story of five friends trying to navigate life as a teenager in 2020.
The plays were developed over a six week period (prior to the Covid restrictions,) when the students attended drama workshops facilitated by Liam Meagher.
The scripts were then written by Aoibhin Fallon and the plays were directed by Liam Meagher and recorded in WLR's studios, using the students as actors.
In order to give as many students as possible the opportunity to be involved, in each play the characters are played by different people.
Episode 1 was all about Róisín, and you can listen back here..
