Last Performance of RADE Play that won ‘Spirit of the Fringe’ and ‘Best off Site Production’ in Liberty Hall at 7.30 pm on Tuesday, March 4th

RADE’s ‘100 Years Ago’ received rave reviews when it was performed in Dublin Theatre Festival and later in December last year. There is one last performance in Liberty Hall at 7.30 pm on Tuesday, March 4th, 2014. It is being given in aid of the Simon Community.

“A Hundred Years Ago” explores the dramatic events that evolved through the autumn of 1913 when ordinary workers took a stand with Jim Larkin against the employers of Dublin city and the subsistence wages that held them in slavery. The play is delivered with bawdy and raucous humor that includes both jaunty and haunting ballad songs. The food kitchens, proselytizers and Monto girls all come to life as do families and workers struggling to survive in the slum tenements. Here you will find the Dubliners irreverent wit, chiseled from their ancestors and presented warts and all by the RADE Company in their distinctive style.
Much of the dialogue for this year’s show has been compiled from our creative writing class, which gives the drama a tangible and authentic voice addressing this exciting and conflicting period in Dublin’s history.
RADE’s critically acclaimed show “the last ten years” was nominated for a Spirit of the Fringe and Best Off Site Production at the 2012 Dublin Fringe Festival.

“A Hundred Years Ago”, RADE’s acclaimed play will have a final farewell performance, in Liberty Hall Theatre, on Tuesday 4th March at 7.30pm in aid of Dublin Simon Community – tickets €10/€5(unwaged) from 0818 205 205 www.ctb.ie/myticket
