Julie presented by Kabosh Theatre

Bernadette loves Gene Kelly, Doris Day, and Julie Garland.
She shares a bedroom with her wee sister – Julie.
Julie loves Sheena Easton, Annie Lennox, and Adam Ant.
Julie isn’t too bothered there’s women out banging bin lids – one of the hunger strikers
just died.
She’s more concerned with sorting a new pair of Topaz tights for the Horn Drive disco.
She is fourteen after all…

Julie, written and performed by her niece, award-winning actress Charlotte McCurry, is a compelling piece exploring the tragic death of 14-year-old Julie Livingstone, who was fatally struck by a plastic bullet in 1981. Julie premiered in August 2025 as part of Féile an Phobail at The Roddy McCorley Heritage Centre before touring to sold – out audiences throughout theNorth of Ireland inAugust 2025.

Told through the eyes of Julie’s sister Bernadette, the play bears witness to the events surrounding 12 May 1981, blending archive footage, animation, and music to transport
audiences back to a time when ordinary life was shaped by extraordinary conflict.

Written and Performed by Charlotte McCurry

Directed by Paula McFetridge
