The Brother’s Grimm published a series of German folktales in 1812 called Kinder-und Hausmärchen. Many of these weird little tales had morals about what it means to be a good citizen in the face of Death. But when Death comes for you, you never know what you’ll do or how much time you have left.

Assistant Directors: Eli McCarthy & Eoin Kane

“It happened on a Tuesday. Which is surprising, cos nothing decent ever happens on a Tuesday.”
A schoolday starts like any other, but when an unexpected and unexplained phenomenon rips through the school, the students are forced to see their friends, families, foes and themselves in a new light.
Alison Carr’s ‘Tuesday’ is an absurd and remarkable play that will renew your gratitude for the ordinary and everyday.

Once upon a time, there was a Prince and a Princess.
…Or maybe a young bohemian woman in a city.
Or maybe space wizards.
The author’s not quite sure yet. He’ll probably figure it out.

Originally devised by Prague Youth Theatre with Casey Hallahan and Adam Stewart for the CLASS in ACTION Youth Theatre Festival, 2018.
