Part of the Transition Year 08/09 Updates
“Psycho Spaghetti”
On Thursday 23rd of October last, Hazelwood College Transition Year group attended a performance in Friarsgate Theatre Killmallock Co. Limerick. The performance had an unusual name “Psycho Spaghetti” which made us wonder what we would be faced with when we got there.
We were to watch the play with a number of other schools. The stage was set up, it contained a students desk and chair, a teachers flip chart and a teachers desk.
A man appeared on stage and introduced himself as Gerard Carey. He began the play by talking about how teenagers act in such strange ways. We then realised that we were the victims and he would be talking about us through the course of the play! The play was about what teenagers go through during their transition from childhood into adulthood. It was about the experiences they have and the apparently how badly they deal with them!
The theatre was full of laughter throughout the play. Gerard kept us entertained with many jokes and some smart comments! All of the transition year group truly enjoyed the play and would recommend it to viewers of all ages.
