“These performers are not professional dancers nor trained actors, yet the skill exhibited by each and every one of them in the performance was magical. There was an abundance of commitment from the ensemble, with each performer experiencing a cathartic, personal journey.”
Ciara Murphy, The Public Review

Invited audiences watched many new participants take to the stage to perform  our acclaimed play A Hundred Years Ago.   Participants sang, danced and acted for this production.  The play explores the dramatic events that evolved through the autumn of 1913 when ordinary workers took a stand with Jim Larkin against the employers of Dublin city and the subsistence wages that held them in slavery.

RADE’s recent exhibition of Oak wood sculpture was also on display.  The carving by participants are reflections of their thoughts on 1916 to 2016.
