A New Play

VANDAL

Waterford Youth Arts presents Vandal, a new commission by playwright Nicholas Kavanagh, which explores the world of graffiti and asks the big question, "Is it art or vandalism?".

Directed by Eoin Ó hAnnracháin, Vandal is a gritty, fast-paced, thought-provoking piece of theatre about graffiti art and the impact it has on society.

Alex McGuire is a graffiti artist who gets in with the wrong crowd and is arrested for a crime he did not commit. His world is turned upside down. On probation Alex meets Denise, a teacher who helps him get his life back on track.

Vandal was commissioned by Waterford City Council to counteract graffiti and vandalism, which impacts on the city's appearance.

The production will be touring secondary schools in Waterford from March 8th - 19th 2010.
