MAD Youth Theatre will be taking to the stage of An Táin Arts Centre on March 13th and 14th for the Irish premiere of their play Remote.

Remote by Stef Smith is a play that not only tackles the issues of young people today but gives the audience a unique perspective of how young people think and respond to social situations both good and bad. It asks the question, are young people apathetic? Do they not care about what goes on in this world, in their communities, in their home? The cast intend to answer these questions with their edgy, bold and unmissable performance.

A girl called Antler steps out of her front door and throws her phone on the ground. She stamps on it. She then climbs the tallest tree in the park. She doesn’t want to be found, not by anyone. Seven teenager’s lives all intertwine over the course of a single evening as they make their way through the park on a seemingly normal autumn’s night.

Director Kwasie Boyce said: “The cast are doing a remarkable job of bringing truth to the play. This is a play that is relevant to young people, when you see it you will recognise yourself or someone you know in these characters.”

Admission is €10 or €7 for concessions and are on sale from the An Táin Arts Centre box office on 042 9332332 or by logging on to www.antain.ie
