SUMMARY:Fair Deal
DESCRIPTION:“She won’t stop. Not until reality matches her lunatic version of the world.” \n\n\nSharp\, twisted and funny\, Fair Deal charts one last night in the Thornton family home. \nKiera is counting down the hours until she can finally break free of family commitments. Everything is in hand until her estranged mother\, Sandra\, a celebrated interior designer\, lands in from Los Angeles. As Sandra’s demands escalate\, the evening swerves into dangerously unexpected territory. \nBacked only by her Uncle Daragh – a disgruntled actor – Kiera finds herself in a deadly fight for her future. \nA satirical comedy\, Fair Deal is a world premiere from the writer of One Good Turn (2021)\, Una McKevitt\, directed by Conall Morrison. Fair Deal is an Abbey Theatre Commission. \nDirector Conall Morrison said: “It’s a rare enough script-reading pleasure as a director when you realise you’ve been gifted a play that’s going to have you whipping through the pages as fast as you can turn them\, and laughing and gasping in equal measure. Fair Deal is very funny\, blade-sharp\, and highly insightful about the world in which it is set. It’s very much a play for today\, but its social acuity is secondary to its full-colour characterisation and roller-coasting storytelling. It’s a chain of fire-crackers\, and myself and the brilliant team we’ve been lucky enough to assemble – all of whom had the same response to the play as me – can’t wait to set it alight for our audiences!”

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:Double Indemnity
DESCRIPTION:Hollywood icon Mischa Barton (The O.C.) returns to the Gaiety Theatre stage in Double Indemnity\, the gripping adaptation of one of the greatest crime novels of the 20th Century – the story that inspired Billy Wilder’s film noir classic. \n“I loved her like a rabbit loves a rattlesnake” \nLos Angeles\, 1930’s. Amidst the wreckage of the Great Depression\, Walter Huff\, a sharp-eyed insurance salesman\, has built his career spotting scams. But when he meets the dangerously seductive Phylis Nirdlinger (Barton) to discuss her husband’s life insurance policy\, he finds himself drawn into a web of lust\, greed\, and betrayal. Together they plot the perfect crime: murder the husband\, cash in the policy\, and disappear into the Californian sunset. \nBut passion can cloud judgement\, and guilt can corrode the most perfect of plans. With each step increasingly risky\, and as mistrust simmers\, will Walter and Phyllis outsmart the law – or each other? \nJames M. Cain’s thrillingly amoral masterpiece of murder\, deceit\, and mystery is adapted for the stage by Tom Holloway and directed by Oscar Toeman.
