On the weekend of Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th January, and all within 24 hours, six short plays will be written, rehearsed and performed by the best of Irish writing and directing talent and over 30 of Ireland’s most recognised and beloved stars of stage and screen.

The Last Man in Ireland

Smock Alley Theatre

For reasons currently unknown, rising sea levels have inexplicably affected Ireland and Ireland only, reducing the island to one small indistinct piece of land owned by one remaining Irish civilian. The Last Man in Ireland is a comedic three-hander that explores the cyclical themes of family dysfunction and grief as it uses the lens of millennial angst to delve into the past and present the story of an imagined future.
