Film of Lockout Play by RADE

RADE (Recovery through Art, Drama, Education) has been producing original theatre plays, films, art exhibitions, books of creative writing and short films for the past 10 years. 

“A Hundred Years Ago” was first performed in Smock Alley Theatre in September 2013.   It ran for a further three weeks in December and finally to mark the centenary of the end of the Lockout, a farewell performance, to raise money for Dublin Simon, played to a packed house in Liberty Hall Theatre.

The play explores the events that evolved through the autumn of 1913 when ordinary workers took a stand against the subsistent wages that held them in slavery.  The play is delivered with bawdy humor that includes both jaunty and haunting ballad songs.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHmHqBRSU7Y
