Fifth Year DTFS Students Enjoy a Night at the Theatre!
On Friday evening, DTFS students, accompanied by their teachers, Ms. Shiggins and Ms. Fallon attended 'Three Sisters' in the Gaiety Theatre. The showing was a part of the Dublin Theatre Festival, and organisers kindly offered tickets to Larkin students at a reduced student rate!
Directed by Marc Atkinson Borrull with designs by Molly O’Cathain, 'Three Sisters', the enduring Chekhov classic is given a contemporary Irish take in a new adaptation award-winning Playwright Elizabeth Smyth. This adaptation is an examination of nostalgia, purpose and the cyclical nature of history, with a sharp twist of humour, and featured performances by Megan Cusack (Call The Midwife), Lorcan Cranitch (The Crown), Saoirse-Monica Jackson (Derry Girls), Breffni Holahan (The Nevers), Alex Murphy (The Young Offenders) and Máiréad Tyers (Extraordinary).
Students had a fantastic evening, and this live performance gave them a fantastic insight into the theatrical aspect of their leaving cert course.
