Julie

Written and performed by Charlotte McCurry. Directed by Paula McFetridge. Produced by Kabosh. Lenadoon, West Belfast, 1981 Bernadette is 14. She loves her Mammy, Gene Kelly, Doris Day, and Julie Garland. She shares a bedroom with her wee sister – Julie. Julie loves Sheena Easton, Annie Lennox, and Adam Ant. Julie isn’t too bothered there’s women out banging bin lids – one of the hunger strikers just died. She’s more concerned with sorting a new pair of Topaz tights for the Horn Drive disco. She is fourteen after all… Julie Livingstone was fatally shot by a plastic bullet while crossing the road near her home. Seen through the eyes of Julie’s sister Bernadette, this powerful new play follows a teenage girl navigating her own grief, her family’s loss and their struggle for justice. Running time 70 mins. With post-show discussion.
