Michael Scott’s daring play The Valley of the Squinting Windows based on the book by Brinsley MacNamara returns to the Gaiety Theatre in October 2024 for one week including 2 matinees.
Set in 1918, and opening with the infamous “burning of the book” in the village of Delvin, the production is a “tour de force” using new digital video and audio technologies, 14 professional actors, and a company of “community players”. It drags McNamara’s book into the 21st Century while echoing life in “small town Ireland”.
The show in 2023 sold out completely two weeks before it opened at the Gaiety Theatre and was described by critics as: “Trading in wild theatricality on such a glorious scale it’s impossible to resist”.
