Abbey Theatre, Thursday 21st November - Friday 24th January

Drama at Inish – This new production takes this brilliant farce by renowned Cork playwright, Lennox Robinson, into 1960s Ireland, and features a superb cast of Ireland's best-loved actors.

Inish is a small seaside town in Ireland. It hasn't been on the map before, but it's been making headlines lately, for all the wrong reasons. Could the performances of the newly arrived De la Mare Repertory Theatre Company really be the cause of the town's strange behaviour?

Drama at Inish is a much-loved favourite from the Irish canon and was first performed at the Abbey Theatre in 1933. Director Cal McCrystal, the acclaimed Comedy Director of One Man, Two Guvnors, brings his unique style to the Abbey Stage for the first time, where he is joined by some of Ireland's leading theatre designers.

Please Note: Drama at Inish is a comedy, but it also contains references to marital strife, domestic violence, and suicide. Audience discretion is advised.

A Misanthrope

Smock Alley Theatre

In this swirling and sexy comedy of bad manners, Molière’s France becomes Dublin’s FRANS, a Silicon Docks megacorp brimming with pissants, posers, and plutocrats all grubbing for power and pleasure. As terminally over-it Alceste navigates a tempest of HR complaints and office warfare, his vexed and oversexed lover Celimene treads her own social minefield as she prepares to launch a venture that could liberate her from FRANS and all her hangers-on for good. Escape from the woes of the modern world into a battleground of egos ruled by the absurd whims of tech titans– oh, wait. A play p
