A Life Unpacked at Drama House Youth Theatre Festival

After a successful run at the Mermaid Arts Centre, Bray's Youth Theatre takes to the Moat Theatre stage for another performance of their original play, A Life Unpacked.

“Who is it that can tell me who I am?” King Lear

An elderly man's possessions are packed into box after box. It's for the best. He can no longer stay in that big house alone, can he? While his children bicker and bustle, his grandchildren approach him curiously with trinkets from his past. Memories of his life are unearthed. Some he would rather forget forever, and others he’ll do anything to keep. He tries to hold onto the fragmented pieces of his life before they’re encased in cardboard and stuffed in some forgotten attic.

After their incredible performances of The Heights by Lisa McGee in National Theatre Connections 2023, Bray’s youth theatre returns to the stage with a dynamic and heartfelt play about memory, how it holds us together and sometimes pulls us to pieces.

Centra Vevay Road sponsors this production.
