Last Tuesday we went out to the theatre in Mullingar to perform the dramas we had been working on since the start of the year. The drama that I was in was called "Driving under the Influence" and followed the lives of five teenagers after the death of a fellow classmate. My character was called Kate, who was an unmotivated & lazy student, oblivious to the dangers of the world.
Our school was the first to perform so the other schools had not arrived yet...which I was quite relieved about - it didn't feel so pressurized. Noughts and Crosses was the first group to take the stage, followed by Time of Your Life, But you Didn't, and finally DUI. Everybody from the school performed excellently, despite some problems with the music and lighting,
Once this was all behind us, we went to McDonald's to grab some lunch, before making our way back to the theatre to watch the rest of the plays. I really enjoyed them...even though the themes were pretty strange & far-fetched. The first one was performed by a school from Killkenny & staged the life of a human ant - Zartan. Next up was a drama which told the story of a boyfriend meeting his partners family for the first time. The final play was about the inequality that exists within a school community.
All of the dramas got great feedback from the adjudicator & I am looking forward to finding out the results :)
