SUMMARY:Mirandolina
DESCRIPTION:“Oh\, she’s born and she’ll leave you in smithereens” \n\n\nMirandolina is inspired by Italian playwright Carlo Goldoni’s masterpiece\, La Locandiera. A 300-year-old story that claims to make its protagonist\, Mirandolina\, an example of the “barbaric cruelty” and “insulting contempt” of women who mock men’s love\, the effect of La Locandiera is in fact a sincere exaltation of female intelligence.  \nIn this exciting adaptation written by Abbey Theatre Associate Artist Marina Carr and directed by Caitríona McLaughlin\, Mirandolina examines the life of a lost young woman and the admirers and predators who surround her.   \nThis is a play about fear\, female fear\, and the price extracted from these lost girls who dare to fight back – a story finding fresh and unprecedented connections with the present. \nMirandolina is performed in Italian with English surtitles.  \nMirandolina is a world premiere co-production by the Abbey Theatre\, Teatro Stabile del Veneto – Teatro Nazionale and Croatian National Theatre in Rijeka – HNK Rijeka which celebrates the Milan-Cortina 2026 Cultural Olympiad.  \nIt premieres in Treviso\, Italy\, in February 2026 and tours to Belluno\, Venice\, Padua\, Verona\, Rijeka\, and Milan; before coming to the Abbey Stage in August 2026.  \nFunded as part of the Department of Culture\, Communications and Sport EU Presidency Culture Programme.

SUMMARY:Growing Pains
DESCRIPTION:The New Theatre presents Growing Pains by Carley Magee as part of Dublin Fringe Festival. \nWould you rather meet a man or a bird at a bus stop? \nA girl is alone at night.

SUMMARY:Muster
DESCRIPTION:The New Theatre presents Muster by Belema Art House as part of Dublin Fringe Festival. \n  \nHow can you call someone ‘brother’ while keeping the honest parts of yourself locked away? \nTwo friends step into a garden after a funeral\, hip hop blasting. What begins as a eulogy becomes an excavation; inside jokes\, bravado\, avoidance\, intimacy disguised as violence. Slowly\, they speak truths they could never say out loud before. \nThis new work unfolds as a live concept album\, blending spoken-word\, rap and storytelling to shed new light on black masculinity and friendships. It asks us to muster our courage: to confront what we’ve inherited and what we’ll pass on\, and to speak our love while we still can.

SUMMARY:Dead In Here
DESCRIPTION:A group of friends are desperate to escape the city for a weekend. Millie has an idea. Her family has a big house down the country. It’s been theirs for about 400 years. Just don’t ask how they got it. \n \nBrian wants to drink. Millie wants to relax. Georgia just doesn’t want any fights. So they drink. They relax. They try not to fight. \n \nBut then Millie’s ex arrives at the door. And soon after that\, they run out of drink. The trip begins to fall apart as old tensions resurface\, and just when it looks like they’ve hit rock bottom\, a voice calls out from below. \n \nDead In Here is a new play inspired by Giovanni Boccaccio’s ‘The Decameron’. It seeks to explore how it feels to be a young person right now: hyper-aware of the problems and powerless to effect any solutions. With its raw aesthetic\, this play presents a striking vision for what is possible when theatre is stripped back to its purest elements. \n \nThis is a play about love and death that interrogates our collective desire to escape reality. \nWritten by CN Smith and directed by Dominic O’Brien.\n \n\n\n\n\n\nWarnings: Contains themes of bereavement. This event features smoke machines\, strobe lighting and excessive loud noise/music.\n \n\n\n\nDeveloped at Dublin Fringe Festival Studios.\n \n\nWRITTEN BY CN Smith \nDIRECTED BY Dominic O’Brien\n\n \n\n\nPREVIEW TICKETS €15\nTICKETS €19 | €17\nRUNNING TIME 90 mins\n \n\n*Please be advised\, more tickets are available through the Fringe Festival box office \n \n\n\nIMAGE: Dominic O’Brien

SUMMARY:The Cronie Brothers 'Tan St Canard and Tall'
DESCRIPTION:MCD is thrilled to announce that Ireland’s most unique comedy trio\, The Cronie Brothers\, will bring their brand-new show\, ‘Triplets’\, to the iconic upstairs stage of Whelan’s\, Dublin\, on 9th September 2026. \nComprising three of the country’s most exciting up-and-coming comics—Cormac Sinnott\, Patrick Conlan\, and Jack Shortall—The Cronie Brothers are triplets. Or at least\, that is what they tell people. Despite being non-identical\, entirely unrelated\, and bearing zero physical resemblance to one another\, the trio navigates the stage with the chaotic synergy that only “family” can provide. \n‘Triplets promises a thrilling hour of high-octane stand-up. The show explores the trials and tribulations of growing up as triplets from the incredibly unique and engaging perspective of not mentioning it at all. \nExpect sharp observations\, riffing\, and the kind of chemistry that has seen them rise rapidly through the ranks of the Irish comedy circuit. As the brothers themselves put it: “The night’s sky couldn’t hold this many stars!” \nFans are encouraged to act fast\, as tickets for this one-night-only event are expected to fly.

SUMMARY:ANIMALS
DESCRIPTION:“The law\, Noel. Without it\, all of us are animals in the jungle. Killing and eating and riding whatever we think we can get away with.” \n\n\nPrepare to suspend your disbelief. Then let it dissolve completely. \nUnstable realities resemble our wildest imagination in this absurdist spectacle – writ large and set loose on the national stage. \nANIMALS is a riotous and kaleidoscopic world premiere commissioned by the Abbey Theatre and based on the critically acclaimed short fiction of award-winning contemporary Irish writer Blindboyboatclub (The Gospel According to Blindboy\, Boulevard Wren\, Topographia Hibernica)\, adapted by Dan Colley (Lost Lear\, A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings). \nHidden mythologies emerge as we follow Erskine Fogarty and his fridge-freezer on the long road to Limerick\, the vengeful Pamela Furlong become a dogman\, a poitín maker haunted by a cormorant\, and a dangerous liaison between two titans of Irish history. \nThe bizarreness of life is unmasked in this roaring and roaming new work that wonders aloud if the rowdy kids down the back of class might have been onto something all along. \n  \n\nCredits:\n\nFrom the short stories of: Blindboyboatclub\nAdapted and Directed by: Dan Colley\nSet Design: Owen Boss\nCostume Design: Saileóg O’Halloran\nLighting Design: Suzie Cummins\nComposition and Sound Design: Alma Kelliher\nVideo Design: José Miguel Jimenez\nSpecial Effects Design: Richard Babington\nMovement Director: Jessie Thompson\nAccess Design: Dee Roycroft\nDramaturg: Ruth McGowan\nVoice Director: Andrea Ainsworth\nAssistant Director: Ursula McGinn\nAssistant Costume Design: LaurA Fajardo Castro\nCasting: Barry Coyle and Dawn Mac Allister\nPublicity Artwork: Sarah Moloney
