Test Copy
Friday 19 January
ThEaTRE
Time: 8pm Price: €12
Meet Louise Fennessy, one of eighty-nine Transition Year girls and follow her
through the corridors and carry-on of St. Catherine's Convent, Slievemore,
Co. Tipperary.
After gaining the attention of an unlikely crowd, Louise gets carried away into a
world of new-found respect, territory and attention. But she messes it up and they
quickly spit her back out to being the nobody she was before. Now she'll stop at
nothing to get that notice back.
Test Copy is a black comedy which takes a look into the world of peer pressure,
violence and the lengths young people will go to for attention.
Written and performed by Roseanna Purcell, an actor-writer from Littleton,
Co. Tipperary. This is her first, full-length play which was commissioned for
production by Nenagh Arts Centre and directed by Pat Kiernan.
Ages 15+ years
