Before we play The Dead School to Town Hall Theatre Galway, Civic Theatre, The Everyman, Pavilion Theatre and The Watergate Theatre we have to rehearse. And this part, the creative part, the exciting part, is always Decadent's favourite bit :)

The Dead School by Patrick McCabe reminds you of those secondary school days when you'd:

1. Wear revolting uniforms 👔
2. Be silent for hours upon end 😷
3. Mess until you got in trouble 😆
4. Fear the wrath of the teacher 👹
5. Speak bits 'n' bobs of Irish 🍀
6. Be so innocent to the encroaching chaos of adulthood 👨

What else do you remember about secondary school?
