POSTPONED: What Did I Miss? 27 Sep - 11 Oct 2020
The Ark and Dublin Theatre Festival present a touching new show by The Ark’s Artist in Residence, Shaun Dunne, offering a window into the experience of sixth class students in 2020.
Kyla is throwing a party on her street. Not just any party. It’s a graduation ceremony. It’ll be mad to see the kids from her old class again after so long. Summer 2020 was literally endless.
Now that they’re all in first year, Kyla wants to get the old gang back together. She’s made caps, she has gowns, and she’s even prepared a speech. But there’s one visitor she’s not expecting…
Developed swiftly and informed by ongoing collaborative work with The Ark’s Children’s Council, What Did I Miss? is a celebration of rites of passage, exploring how we reconnect as we adapt to a new way of life.
Joining Jade Jordan in the cast, we are excited to introduce newcomer and former Children’s Council member Naomi Moonveld-Nkosi as Kyla, a capable and determined girl who discovers she’s not the only one attempting to bridge the divides left by lockdown.
Due to the into the implementation of Level 3 restrictions in Dublin, The Ark & Dublin Theatre Festival regret to announce that our planned performances of What Did I Miss? by Shaun Dunne will not proceed as scheduled between 27 September and 11 October. Read more here.
