POSTER FOR THE HEDGEY ROAD PLAYS
1989
The playwright Peter Cox wrote these plays in collaboration with female pupils from a West Belfast comprehensive school. The plays depict the lived experiences of the girls going through adolescence in Northern Ireland during The Troubles, a time of great violence and unrest. The pupils performed the pieces themselves, as the Marillac Theatre Company, at the
Grand Opera House, Belfast.
