Meredith review: Dramatic temperature could be dialled up a notch in comic study of familial dysfunction (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In an era defined by intergenerational inequality, the protagonist of Erica Murrayâs new play is sitting at the top of the heap. Meredith, which is at the Gate as part of Dublin Theatre Festival, opens with the 83-year-old title character convalescing at her Co Meath home after a hip operation. The abundant plants in her orangery point to a world of carefree affluence. Meredith can also count on the attentive companionship of Abi, her full-time live-in carer. Meredith is busy making trouble fo
Animals review: Blindboyâs full-scale theatrical debut is a bit of a loose baggy monster (opens the original)
Read excerpt
âPlease welcome to the stage myself.â So begins this adaptation of seven short stories by Blindboyboatclub, performed at the Abbey as part of Dublin Theatre Festival. We immediately recognise the plastic-bag mask and Limerick accent. But is it the author and podcaster himself? A winning coup de theatre soon suggests we are being had. And following an erudite excursion through the biological theories of Jakob von Uexküll, the bag-clad performer frames Animalsâ playful opening in terms of B
Cyclone review: Who was the real Billy Warren? Was he an IRA gunrunner? The picture is still hazy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This immersive, site-specific play resurrects the story of Billy âthe Cycloneâ Warren, a black boxer who moved to Dublin in the early 20th century and remained here until his death, in 1951. Cyclone, which is performed as part of Dublin Theatre Festival, is yet another foray into the more recondite corners of Irish history from the multidisciplinary company Anu. Though Warren was a familiar figure in Dublin, often seen wearing a sandwich board outside the GPO, on OâConnell Street, the full
Radio Bette, minus Ruth Negga, opens Dublin Theatre Festival with deadpan drollery (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hit plays regularly used to migrate from stage to screen. These days itâs more common for films to be adapted for the theatre, often for the sake of creating a bankable star vehicle. In Radio Bette, the New York company the Goat Exchange take a more eccentric and ambitious approach. Much of the plot and dialogue comes from All About Eve, Joseph L Mankiewiczâs 1950 film starring Bette Davis as a Broadway matriarch with an obsessive young admirer. But the play, which opens this yearâs Dublin
Mirandolina review: Marina Carr updates 18th-century comedy as feminist tragedy with keen moral purpose (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This play by Marina Carr is loosely adapted from La Locandiera, Carlo Goldoniâs 18th-century comedy about a seductive Florentine innkeeper. Mirandolina is set, for the most part, in a present-day Dublin Italian restaurant run by the eponymous heroine and her stepbrother. Yet Carrâs text has been translated into Italian by Monica Capuani and is performed with English surtitles at the Abbey. None of the nine-strong cast makes any pretence of portraying recognisably Irish characters. Under Cait
