Killymuck

Inspired by real events, Killymuck is a housing estate built on a paupers graveyard in 1970’s Ireland. Niamh navigates life through the parameters of growing up, with the trials and tribulations of being a kid from the benefit class system. Lack of opportunity, educational barriers, impoverishment, addiction and depression are the norms as the struggle to escape the underclass stereotype becomes a priority. From school trips organised as cross community excursions to unite a fractured post troubles town, to finding the humour within an estate crippled with misfortune. From award winning, critically acclaimed writer of BELFAST BOY, WASTED, MULE.
