Me, Mollser - 15/02/2016: The 3rd-6th class boys and girls were given a performance of Me, Mollser in the school hall today. Me, Mollser is presented by the Abbey Theatre and gives people an idea as to what life was like for a young person, living in extreme poverty, in early 20th century Dublin. The story is told through the eyes of fifteen year old Mollser, who is coping with consumption against the backdrop of the 1913 Lockout and 1916 Easter Rising. It was an interactive performance and the children were complimented afterwards for their engagement throughout. Well done boys and girls. Photos can be viewed in the photos section.
