Quintessence Theatre follow their National Tours of Cracks; The Curious Case of Albert Cashier and Belfast Girls, with this powerful portrayal of a child’s life in the Irish Foster care system.
“Imagine turning up at the door of a house. A house you’ve never seen before, in a town you don’t know. A house you’re going to be living in, with people you’ve never met. And all you have is a black bin bag. A bag that carries your whole life…”
Inspired by real stories, Quintessence Theatre use their innovative physical ensemble storytelling techniques to explore the lived experience of children-in-care in Ireland & expose the failures of the Irish Foster care system. An original play, devised by the company, SOME OF OUR CHILDREN is a compelling, & often comedic, drama that highlights the shortcomings of the care system in Ireland, while also amplifying the voices of some of our State’s most vulnerable citizens.
