ULSTER BANK DUBLIN THEATRE FESTIVAL: No Child... By Nilaja Sun 

Following a 12-month sold-out New York run, and a major North American tour, Nilaja Sun’s OBIE Award-winning No Child… makes its Irish debut at axis: Ballymun during the 2010 Festival. Inspired by Sun’s years as a teaching artist at high schools in the Bronx, this tour de force is an insightful and often hilarious look into New York City’s public education system. Her lightning-quick portrayals of the many characters inhabiting the city’s school structure – including teachers, students, parents, administrators, janitors and security guards – provide a touching and humorous examination of the universal challenges facing education everywhere.

 

BOOKING OPENS AUGUST 18TH.
