Abbey Theatre, Tuesday 24th March - Saturday 28th March

Opera Briefs – The world premiere of Kevin O'Connell's DreamCatchr to a libretto by Lily Akerman.

The Abbey Theatre is following the advice of the Irish Government and will be closed to the public from March 12th-29th, 2020. The box-office team will contact any patrons who hold tickets for events occurring during this time period.

Jane and Polly are sisters. They live together, they share a world together – until Jane becomes obsessed with the idea of creating a computer application that can capture dreams, and creates her own pixellated reality which Polly can't enter. Alternately comical, bizarre and disturbing, DreamCatchr explores the borders between dreams and waking life, sisterhood and selfhood.
