The Great Hunger

This event has ended

Royal Hospital Kilmainham, Thursday 1st October - Saturday 10th October

A historic partnership between the Abbey Theatre and IMMA, The Great Hunger is a new production of the epic Patrick Kavanagh poem.

Patrick Maguire struggles with the choices he made for survival. Was committing to the land worth the price? Does the beauty of nature redeem his isolated journey through the years?

As you walk through the grounds of IMMA at Royal Hospital Kilmainham, a cast of 16 actors and 10 musicians will bring the darkness and light of Kavanagh’s tragic masterpiece to life.
Conceived by the Directors of the Abbey Theatre, The Great Hunger is jointly directed by award-winning Irish theatre directors Caitríona McLaughlin and Conall Morrison.
This production will premiere as part of the Dublin Theatre Festival.

Times: Thursday – Saturday, five performances per evening with staggered start times:

• Group One: 6.30pm
• Group Two: 7pm
• Group Three: 7.30pm
• Group Four: 8pm
• Group Five: 8.30pm
