Aristocrats

This event has ended

Mill Theatre, Tuesday 26th March - Saturday 30th March

Rathfarnham Theatre Group are proud to present Aristocrats by Brian Friel

The O’Donnell children have gathered for the pending wedding of the youngest daughter, Claire, while their father, District Justice O’Donnell, lies dying in his bedroom tended to by the eldest daughter, Judith. An air of decay and decline pervades the house and gardens.

First produced by the Abbey Theatre in 1979, Brian Friel’s Aristocrats is a touching and harrowing play about the decline of a once prosperous Catholic family, inhabiting the big house ‘Ballybeg Hall’ on a hill overlooking Ballybeg, a fictional village in Donegal.

The house is crumbling down as is the family. They are caught between two social and political worlds. It is the 1970s, the time of the Troubles in Northern Ireland and Ballybeg is just 20 miles away from the Bogside!

The Manny

Civic Theatre

A dark comedy about an Irish male nanny who works for rich single mums in West London. In it, Manny is enjoying a Peter Pan-esque lifestyle of well-paid cash in hand work & settling for meaningless dates with women who harmonise happy birthday with their eyes closed, just to disguise himself from the fact that he’s letting life go by without following any real purpose, or allowing himself to really feel anything substantial or lasting. Throughout the story, he meets Molly, an actress disillusioned with life, as she sells beetroot brownies in Borough market, as opposed to playing Cleopa
