AbbeyTheatre

Inspired by the revolutionary ideals of our founders and our rich canon of Irish dramatic writing, our mission is to imaginatively engage with all of Irish society through the production of ambitious, courageous and new theatre in all its forms. We commit to lead in the telling of the whole Irish story, in English and in Irish, and we affirm that the Abbey is a theatre for the entire island of Ireland and for all its people. In every endeavour, we promote inclusiveness, diversity and equality.

The Old Triangle - Radie Peat

One of the most uniquely recognisable, and critically and popularly lauded, voices in Irish music, Radie Peat – of multi-award winning Lankum and ØXN – collaborates with the Abbey Theatre on its production of Brendan Behan’s The Quare Fellow, lending her vocals to the lyrics of 'The Old Triangle', which ring out hauntingly throughout the performance.

Tartuffe Post Show Talk - Religious Hypocrisy: A Besetting Irish Failing?

As part of the run of our new production of Moliere's Tartuffe, we initiated a series of post-show discussions on themes emerging from the new version of the play by Frank McGuinness. The discussions focussed on the origins of these themes in the play and broadened out to encompass reflections on their relevance for Ireland in the past and the present. Our second talk covered Me Too: confronting patriarchy and sexual oppression. This conversation was explored by curator Catriona Crowe along with journalist and novelist Gene Kerrigan and journalist and writer Caelainn Hogan. In their talk they examined hypocrisy, trying to answer the question if it’s part of the Irish system of elision of difficult things.

Tartuffe Post Show Talk - Me Too: Confronting Patriarchy and Sexual Oppression

As part of the run of our new production of Moliere's Tartuffe, we initiated a series of post-show discussions on themes emerging from the new version of the play by Frank McGuinness. The discussions focussed on the origins of these themes in the play and broadened out to encompass reflections on their relevance for Ireland in the past and the present. Our first talk covered Me Too: confronting patriarchy and sexual oppression. For this talk, curator Catriona Crowe was joined on stage by Irish Times writer and columnist Roisin Ingle and Consent Project Manager with Dublin Rape Crisis Centre Sarah Monaghan. They discussed the recent Waking the Feminists campaign - how have we done since the campaign was first launched back in 2015 and is there more to be done? The panel also explored if toxic masculinity is a response to women’s attempts to defeat sexual oppression. Facebook - @AbbeyTheatreDublin Instagram - @AbbeyTheatreDublin Twitter - @AbbeyTheatre
