Shakespeare covered the seven stages of life better than most in a speech called The Seven Ages of Man in a play called As You Like It.  Shakespeare’s speech was all about boys and men, but our series is all about girls and women. Join us on our seven-week journey through the ages stopping off at all the stages from child to teenager, from mother to grandmother, from work to retirement, from multitasker to multi-talented, from social commentator to mould breaker, and everything in between. Starts on Friday Feb 2nd at 3.30pm

Episode 3 is all about young life and love. Listen to our Transition Year students Tori O’Shea, Neveah Doyle, Lara Byrne, and Halle Shevlin from Marino College, as they talk about school, romance and technology in the 21st century, helped along the way with poetry and song about young life and love in all its guises. As well as an impromptu concert with Lara, Tori, Halle, and Neveah, you will hear more song from Thomas McCarthy and Alan O’Brien, and poetry by Jimmy O’Connell, Mary Oyediran and Berni Dwan
