Kildare Youth Theatre Presents Hamlet By William Shakespeare

Wednesday 3 rd – Friday 5 th May, 11am

Tickets €6 (teachers free) THEATRE

Featuring a cast of young people from Kildare schools who are studying the play. They are joined by young volunteers from abroad, making it a truly multicultural production. Kildare Youth Theatre is a project of Crooked House Theatre Company. Each May we stage a play by Shakespeare, usually the text that is prescribed for current 5th years for their Leaving Certificate.

This production emphasises the zealous nature of Hamlet’s quest to be the ‘scourge and minister’ of the age. He is a fundamentalist, bent on setting the world ‘right’ and damning Claudius’ soul to Hell. In this sense, Hamlet really is mentally ill, and not in the way that he pretends to be.

Directed by Peter Hussey

Interactive Installation

Filmore! is a transmedia experience consisting of an interactive installation, live performance and online spaces both apparent and otherwise. It tells the story of fictional school Safety Patrol officer Maximus C. Filmore. As to what that story is about, it's up to you to decide. You’ll be asked to revisit a past that never really existed as you try to uncover what happened to Filmore! and why? It’s a murder mystery meets scavenger hunt across digital and physical spaces. You can investigate at the exhibition and come together to decide at the live gig.

Filmore! is a 2-part experience – see p.17 for the live music performance info.
