SUMMARY:The Plough and the Stars
DESCRIPTION: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 \n\n\nAt 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.  \nThe residents of a Dublin tenement shelter from the violence that sweeps through the city’s streets. A revolution that will shape the country’s future rages around them. What kind of Ireland awaits them?   \nSet amid the tumult of the Easter Rising\, The Plough and the Stars is the story of ordinary lives ripped apart by the idealism of the time.  \nDirector Tom Creed said: “This production is a chance to remind us that O’Casey was a trailblazing innovator as well as a social realist of great humanity and compassion. The opportunity to stage the 100th anniversary production of the play at the Abbey is a rare and precious one – to honour its extraordinary legacy and to remind us how it continues to reflect Ireland back at itself a century after its legendary debut.”  \nCast will be announced in the coming weeks.

SUMMARY:The Madonna of Asia
DESCRIPTION:Once Asia’s brightest star\, Rin Asari (Mai Ishikawa) was poised for global fame with the release of her first film in English. But soon after\, she vanished. It’s 2014. Rin\, in her forties\, lives quietly in Dublin. By chance\, she connects with Tara (Clare Barrett)\, a woman living in Hong Kong\, bringing up the past she has tried to forget. When Rin receives an offer to return to the screen\, she must confront what she left behind. \nInspired by the golden age of Hong Kong cinema\, THE MADONNA OF ASIA weaves together live performance\, vibrant projection and multilingual storytelling. Moving between myth and memory\, this piece traces a woman’s journey from icon to exile – and back to herself. \n. \nWritten\, directed and featuring design by Linbury Prizewinner Choy-Ping Ní Chléirigh-Ng 吳彩萍. \nPerformed in English\, Japanese and Cantonese. Japanese and Cantonese dialogue is captioned in English. Run time one hour. \n\n\n.\n\nFeatured by Chris McCormack in The Irish Times as one of 2026’s headline plays.\n\n.\n\nPraise for Choy-Ping’s work: \n“Formally\, thematically\, politically\, there is very little work being made in Ireland that dares as much as Choy-Ping’s.”\n— Carys D. Coburn \n“To be displaced from a place is also to be displaced from language. Ní Chléirigh-Ng’s practice creates a space that foregrounds these themes in new modes of performance across technical and substantive levels\, equally displaced from theatrical tradition.”\n— Michelle Chan Schmidt \n\n\n“Choy-Ping Ní Chléirigh-Ng’s set design is a stroke of genius.”\n— Chris O’Rourke\, The Arts Review\, on Boyfriends by Ultan Pringle\n\n.\n\nSupported by Dublin City Council Project Arts Grant and Incubation Space Award\, Irish Theatre Institute\, PROPEL Programme with Strollers Network\, Rough Magic Theatre Company and The New Theatre Artist in Residence Programme.
