CURVE
20-23 June 2018
Inspired by workshops conducted with second-level students currently completing the Leaving Certificate course, Freshly Ground creates a playful, immersive theatre experience that explores the state of the examination system in Ireland.
​
#EXAMINETHESYSTEM
As part of our production, CURVE, 6 of our team sat the 6 compulsory leaving certificate examinations in solidarity with over 57,000 students around Ireland. We sat for the exact duration of the English, Irish and Maths papers at the GPO, the Dáil, the Department of Education, Temple Bar, the Civic Theatre and Trinity College.
