 Programme cover for 'Mad Forest'

Scene from 'Mad Forest'

'Mad Forest' deals with the period of Romania's history during the fall of Ceauceascu and the ensuing confusion and anger among the people who now had to start trusting each other for the first time.

This production in 1991 was WYD's most ambitious with a cast of 50. For the first time we used local adults to play roles of Grandparents, etc. It was also an expensive production from a youth company point of view with an overall budget of £5000.

The show was very well received, even though Caryl Churchill's style would be very different for Waterford audiences. The show also included a live 'Romanian' wedding band.
