"Student involved discusses 'drunk girl' experiment in UCC"

One of the students involved in the UCC 'drunk girl' experiment, Katie Murphy, has spoken to the Irish Examiner about the experiment.

The Drama and Theatre Studies class was inspired by Antonin Artaud, a French actor and theatre director, who developed 'The Happenings'. Katie says it is "based on his theory of Theatre Cruelty".

"The intention is to make the audience think, and [make them] slighty uncomfortable," she says.
