                            Introducing the Young Critics 2023

                            29 June 2023

                            This year we are celebrating 20 years of our Young Critics Programme at Youth Theatre Ireland! We kicked off the year at Cork Midsummer Festival from the 21st to the 23rd of June.

                            The Young Critics saw three shows over the Cork Midsummer Festival: Trojans, by Phillip Connaughton; FreeFalling by Georgina Miller; and The Four Lovers, by The Circus Factory. This experience culminated in a public panel hosted at Cork Arts Theatre, where our youth theatre members presented their opinions and views to the public.

                            They presented their views at a public panel hosted at the Cork Arts Theatre.

                            The programme this year is led by Rebecca Feely, National Programme Co-Ordinator and esteemed academic and theatre critic, Dr. Karen Fricker.

                            From the back starting left to right, the young critics for 2023 are:
