RJ’s Leaving Day, recently performed at the Baby Grand, Grand Opera House, Belfast, will be performing in the Long Gallery, Stormont on Monday 21st March.
Entirely written by its young cast of performers, with expert guidance from Tinderbox Theatre Company’s Outreach Director Ciaran McQuillan, RJ’s Leaving Day dramatises the frustrations felt by young people at their lack of a role in society and how little say they have in the decisions that affect their lives. The project is the culmination of nine months work between Tinderbox, the Children’s Law Centre and community groups across Belfast.
