Pavilion Theatre welcomes this year’s Ulster Bank Dublin Theatre Festival to Dun Laoghaire. This year, audiences in Dun Laoghaire Rathdown’s Municipal Theatre will be treated to the acclaimed 2008 adaptation of Pat McCabe’s “The Dead School” as part of the Festival’s “ReViewed” programme. ReViewed is a showcase of successful Irish productions which are restaged in partnership with Culture Ireland and Irish Theatre Institute. This is the first time that a production will tour as part of the Ulster Bank Dublin Theatre Festival. Nominated in three categories of last years Irish Times Theatre Awards including Best Production; The Dead School deals with a time of huge change in Ireland,when traditionalism and modernism specatacularly clash and colide. This is the Ireland of the seventies crashing headlong into that of the thirties and the love men leave behind in their pursuit of what they think is life. Raphel Bell is the old style national school teacher whose life is haunted by images and memories from his past and who has devoted his life to upholding his school’s traditional values. He is on the side of everything that is good and wholesome, pure and holy in an Ireland of Eucharist Congresses. On the other side stands Malachy Dugeon, a first-year teacher and one of the new breed about town, where rock music and Americian movies are king and rules are made to be broken. When these two men come together, chaos is only round the corner.
