Christ Deliver Us (After Wedekind)
In a provincial Irish town in the 1950s the children have some questions: Whatâs happening to them and whatâs happening in the world around them? And why? The young heroes of Thomas Kilroyâs urgent new play strive to carve out an understanding of the world beneath the unbearable weight of unanswered questions, confusion and their own desires. And the clergy gather like crows on the horizon. Based on Frank Wedekindâs masterpiece of German symbolism Spring Awakening, Christ Deliver Us! is a play about growing up â" how hard it all is, and how wonderful!
