Irishtown

We could just devise an Irish play How hard could it be?The Irishtown Players, a celebrated Dublin-based theatre company, have just started rehearsals for their new play. After the astounding success of their last production, the company are scheduled to open on Broadway with the same visionary playwright at the helm. However, trouble arises when the actors decide she's going too dark, too experimental, and not Irish enough? Taking matters into their own hands, the company fights to restore the Hibernian flair. Irishtown is a hilarious and searing new comedy that explores the commercialization of culture, inviting audiences to experience the fragile creative process and the potential collapse of a collective.This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere at Irish Rep in New York in April 2025.
