Montfort College of Performing Arts ​presents

Heavy Weather

by Lizzie Nunnery

In September 2022 the Montfort College of Performing Arts established a company drama class under the direction of Sinéad Crowley. The work of the students culminates in a fully staged play which allows them to put to use all the skills developed over the course of the year. Following on from their hugely successful inaugural production in 2023 of ‘The Boy Preference’ and ‘Old Times’ in 2024 the students are delighted to present ‘Heavy Weather’ in 2025.

Lizzie Nunnery’s ‘Heavy Weather’ is a powerful, timely play featuring songs, about one girl’s journey through a world teetering on the brink.

Mona is a young woman on the edge. All she sees is the Earth falling apart, but no one really seems to care. Amidst the chaos of competing and contradictory voices, she sets off on a kaleidoscopic journey to find solutions for the planet – and the truth about her family – in the hope that everything might start to make sense again.

‘Wonderful… a lovely piece of theatre with great characters for young actors to get their teeth into, familiar issues and situations and lots of humour that still treats the issues very seriously… well worth a look for any teenage youth-theatre group’ – British Theatre Guide

‘A fascinating challenge, with an intriguing role for the ensemble and lots of scope for a compelling visual translation… a young, brilliant director could do wonders with this’ – Broadway World

‘Thrums with life and urgency’ – BritishTheatre.com
