Story of Moyross to be staged

Moyross has been written off, and for too long been ignored. Now the people of the estate are having their say.

A project called Moyross, involves a theatrical production by the residents in which they will take to the stage to tell the story of the estate and its people.

It is being supported by Limerick City of Culture 2014 and four professionals from Theatreclub have been recruited to help guide the project.

And it hits the boards at the Limetree Theatre from April 30 to May 3.

A spokesperson said: “The four professionals are working with groups from the community tracing the history of the estate and drawing on the experience of local people.

“Much has been written and discussed over the years about Moyross, but the people who live in Moyross are now being given an opportunity to give expression of their view of life in Moyross in this theatrical production.”

“It is hoped that creative skills of young people in the estate will be encouraged.”
