“The Freedom of the City”

De La Salle students starred in “The Freedom of the City” performed in the PAC. Over two terms, the cast worked hard to master Irish, British and American accents, learn lines and discover the relationships between the characters. With the help of the College community, we created the world of Londonderry in the 1970s. Our task was to tell the story of the three ‘victims’ of the play; three ordinary Irish people who protested against British rule, who hid by chance in the Mayor’s parlour, fleeing from their aggressors. The cast and crew are to be congratulated for the outstanding job they did in performing this difficult piece of theatre.
