County Wexford Youth Theatre
presents

Seven Jewish Children
by Caryl Churchill

5pm, Friday 20 September at Wexford Arts Centre

Staged and performed by ten young actors, County Wexford Youth Theatre presents Caryl Churchill’s ‘Seven Jewish Children’. The play is dense, beautiful, elusive and intentionally indeterminate. It is also direct and incendiary. It's disturbing, it's provocative, but appropriately so, given the magnitude of the calamity it enfolds in its performance. It will arouse anger and distress as it illuminates the effects war and discrimination has on children.

“Tell her it's a game
Tell her it's serious
But don't frighten her
Don't tell her they'll kill her
Tell her it's important to be quiet
Tell her she'll have cake if she's good”
