Get Excited

New promo shots for the play 'Killed By Curriculum' have surfaced and they're slightly brilliant. I was fortunate enough to catch the play when it was first performed as part of the IYT Festival before Christmas. It's been tweaked somewhat since then and has now been officially selected for a run at the 2009 Gay Theatre Festival.

The play offers a wonderful snapshot of 'youth culture', charting the misadventures of six Irish teenagers over the course of their Leaving Cert year. Drawing on material ranging from Plath to pop culture, 'Killed By Curriculum' offsets parodies of teenage stereotypes against moments of genuinely powerful drama.

That description probably doesn't do the script justice but the fact remains: you must go see this play.
