Adelphi '63
Dublin City, Co. Dublin
21 April - 3 May 2026
Dublin Municipal Theatre & Muirenn Lyons present Adelphi '63. Hundreds flock to see JFK in the Phoeno, the city mourns the dead of the collapsing tenements, housewives protest the Turnover-Tax and sexism is rife… but never mind all that.

November, Dublin, 1963.

Hundreds flock to see JFK in the Phoeno, the city mourns the dead of the collapsing tenements, housewives protest the Turnover-Tax and sexism is rife… but never mind all that.

Mary Connors has just won two tickets to see The Beatles, THE BLEEDINʼ BEATLES!

One catch – Mary’s ma insists she brings her cousin Brigid along. The girls set off at odds into a city that’s heaving with Beatlemania. A stolen bike, Brigidʼs burning secret and a riot on Abbey Street unites them with a new bond stronger than the love of any fellaʼs haircut.

This comedic two-person play journeys back in time to honour the resilience of joy amongst teenagers in 1960’s Catholic Ireland.
