Marking 100 years since it premiered on the Abbey Stage, Sean O’Casey’s The Plough and the Stars returns, in an exciting new production directed by Tom Creed.
At its original production in February 1926, the audience rioted. Now regarded as a masterpiece, this provocative play is an essential part of our understanding of Irish history and Irish theatre.
Set amid the chaos of the Easter Rising, The Plough and the Stars is the story of ordinary lives ripped apart by the events of the time. The residents of a Dublin tenement shelter from the violence that sweeps through the city’s streets as a revolution that will shape the country’s future rages around them. What kind of Ireland awaits them? Running from 27th February – 30th April 2026.
Sat 14 March, 14:00 & 19:30 | Mon 16 March, 19:30
