TY student, Evan Matthews, was one of the students who went to Collins Barracks on Tuesday, 24th March to see this immersive play about World War 1 soldiers.
We spent the first half of our day watching a moving play which was set in the courtyard to the dorm rooms. It was excellent. The acting was superb, the set was so detailed and the lighting and sound effects were so realistic! After the performance we spent time playing games with the actors.
After lunch we got to spend the rest of our time looking around the museum by ourselves. Overall the day was highly enjoyable. The 1st, 2nd and 3rd Year students will also be going to this play at the end of April. See also the review on LovinDublin.com.
