On Friday 4th October Ms. Murphy’s Higher Level Senior Irish students made the trip to the Visual Theatre in Carlow to see a live production of their prescribed play “An Triail” by Mairéad Ní Ghráda. Fíbín is the company which produces this version of the play and they address issues highlighted by both teachers and students alike, by bringing a seeming outdated plot into the context of modern society using, puppets, masks, engaging visuals and physical performances to appeal particularly to a younger audience, making it current and more accessible. Our students were really impressed with the production which goes to prove that it is always well worth seeing the live performance to give students the chance to fully grasp the controversial nature of the play. Big thanks to Ms. Murphy and SNA Mary for organising the trip with students.
