Written and performed by Charlotte McCurry. Directed by Paula McFetridge.
Lenadoon, West Belfast, 1981.
Bernadette is 14. She loves her mammy, Gene Kelly, Doris Day and Julie Garland. She shares a bedroom with her wee sister, Julie. Julie loves Sheena Easton, Annie Lennox. And Adam Ant.
Julie isn’t too bothered there’s women out banging bin lids – one of the hunger strikers just died. She’s more concerned with sorting a new pair of Topaz tights for the Horn Drive disco. She is fourteen after all…
Julie Livingston was fatally shot by a plastic bullet while crossing the road near her home. Seen through the eyes of Julie’s sister Bernadette, this powerful new play follows a teenage girl navigating her own grief, her family’s loss and their struggle for justice.
A Q&A session will follow the performance.
