Tomorrow, Year 3 Theatre Studies students at South East Technological University present 'Underlying Conditions' St Patrick's Gateway Centre. The devised piece explores themes of identity, nationalism, and memory, asking questions such as: What does the tricolour mean to us? What is our story of Ireland?

The piece is a tapestry of personal anecdotes and experiences and invites the audience to witness the underlying conditions that make up the fabric of Irish society, creating an image of unity through story, song, poetry, and movement.

Last month, we took a trip to the Abbey Theatre for 'The Plough and the Stars', which was an excellent production. Thanks to Dr Úna Kealy for organising the trip, to the Faculty of Arts & Humanities South East Technological University for funding support, and to Duggan's Coaches for getting us there. Massive thanks to all involved in this production, which provided hours of conversations and debate across the three years of our BA (Hons.) Arts programmes.

An exciting line-up of creatives at this event coming to Thomastown on 11th April.
