  • Half 3 Heroes Review - Peter Crawley -The Irish Times Wed 4 Nov 2009

    The revolution will be digitised. Set in Ireland in 2014, Emmet Kirwan’s new play for Dublin Youth Theatre depicts a future of tech-savvy school students contending with State tyranny and a resurgent hardline Nationalism – conditions they consider borderline fascist, unconstitutional and, like, totally unfair. Such is the balancing act in director Willie White’s production, which must not only accommodate 21 performers, but also marry amplified political concerns to the daily quiet dramas of young individuals.

    It isn’t an easy ask and Kirwan – a DYT graduate, performer and writer – is extended further by his scrupulousness. Giving most characters equal attention, he distributes his better lines evenly among the throng and tries on competing writing styles to contain their sprawling narratives. The first is poetry, where a corridor mill of students introduce themselves through rhyme: “Every generation experiences a different type of youth/ Exploding lyrical style of words and truth”. But that scheme is quickly traded for more standard-issue group patter, where Kirwan works hard to establish individual characterisation among future-

    proof milieus: pheromone-addled knuckleheads, bitchy covens, earnest new kids in school, widely-vilified drama kids and would-be political leaders.

    “Stop the deportations”, goes one clarifying student slogan, and the thrust of Half 3 Heroes becomes one of rebellion. In a dystopian school system within a shackled Republic, students named Kwame have been spirited away, while first generation Irish citizens with Polish or Kosovan parents face similar threats. That this ethnic panoply is not conspicuously present on the stage or among the cast seems slightly jarring. Is the future already here? Staging their own coup d’école , the students hole up in a gymnasium to broadcast their struggle via Bebo, but while the cast is consistently engaging, the production loses the verve of insurrection behind a checklist of youth concerns, its pace slackening between nods to bullying, underage drinking, fitting in or standing apart. More successfully, White and Kirwan draw subversive parallels between revolutions past and present. As the students reel off declarations, hoist flags, or bicker themselves into competing factions of idealists and destroyers, the Easter Rising is wickedly restaged. More subtly, Kirwan wonders what makes a leader now, his ideologues, populists and anarchists vying for position.

    Ultimately little is solved and one student understandably worries, “Do you think we’ll ever become like them?” The answer might be a manifesto worthy of an uprising or a youth theatre. “We’ll grow old like them, but we must not become tired.” PETER CRAWLEY

    Who says young people don't care?

    When their friends and classmates are deported, repatriated, shipped out and sent away the students of Ireland organise a nationwide take over of their schools.

    Locked inside they realise that they also have to contend with each other and discover that navigating the politics of school and being a teenager might be harder than fighting the power.

    Dublin Youth Theatre presents a specially commissioned darkly comic play set in the near future. Written by emerging writer Emmet Kirwan (Sarah & Steve, RTE 2), Half 3 Heroes deals with teenage issues and the big problems of being young, as well as some smaller political ones that are bigger than they seem.
