The Long Christmas Dinner

This event has ended

Abbey Theatre, Saturday 10th December - Saturday 31st December

Nominated for Best Production, Best Director, Best Ensemble, Best Lighting and Best Supporting Actress at the 2022 Irish Times Irish Theatre Awards, The Long Christmas Dinner returns to the Peacock stage this Christmas.

A gift-wrapped seasonal gem, in this meditation on togetherness and separation, birth and death, we visit successive generations of the Bayard family at their Christmas dinner table spanning a period of 90 years.

This heart-warming family drama happens over a seamless 50 minutes.

The Long Christmas Dinner gives us a moment to pause and reflect on our own families, what has been lost to us, and what Christmas means for each of us.

10 – 31 December on the Peacock stage, Mon – Sat 18:30 and 20:30. No performances 24 – 27 December.
