Some of the cast

On Tuesday 9 September 2003 WYA (then known as 'WYD') presented the Irish premiere of this play by an award-winning American writer.

The play, set in Middle America during the Great Depression, tells the story of a small community that sought a scapegoat for its troubles, and shows that when its 'weaker brethern' unite and care for each other, they can survive and transcend the greatest of disasters.

Mother Hicks was the latest in a series of annual WYD summer projects, which give young people the opportunity to work intensively on a production in a professional environment. It was the product of eight weeks' work by more than 30 young people, cast and crew.
