TYT presents What Just Happened

Limerick Youth Theatre’s Transition Year Theatre Company proudly presents What Just Happened directed and adapted for stage by John Hogan. Set in a classroom in Limerick 2020, two students moan about the pointlessness of studying Shakespeare when out of the blue Shakespeare appears in the same room joins the conversation.  What follows is a journey through some of the most famous scenes from his work including Romeo & Juliet, The Merchant of Venice (renamed The Merchant of Ennis), Macbeth, The Tempest and Hamlet.  With a modern twist, including song and dance, Shakespeare guides them through scene by scene leaving the students astounded and asking themselves ‘What Just Happened?’. Working with 30 transition year students from schools in Limerick city and county, the play will be staged by the Transition Year Theatre (TYT) Company at the Belltable on 5 & 6 March 2020.
