Go behind the scenes at the stage adaption of Asking For It

Marjorie Brennan goes behind the scenes of the stage adaptation of ‘Asking For It’.

I’m standing in a back street on Dublin’s northside watching a scene unfold from a thousand thrillers: A patrol car slows down to observe a group of rambunctious youths milling around by a heavily graffitied wall. Appearances can be deceptive, though. The gardaí come to a stop but move on once they’ve been assured there’s no cause for concern and the commotion is in fact a photo call for a play rather than anything suspect.
