Sinopsis
The Abbey Theatres founders W.B. Yeats and Lady Gregory had the vision to bring upon the stage the deeper thoughts and emotions of Ireland.Today in our 110th anniversary year that mission is alive and well. Our ambitious artistic programme of classic Irish drama to new Irish writing holds a mirror up to Irish society.Over the years, the Abbey has nurtured and premiered the work of major Irish playwrights such as Marina Carr, Frank Mc Guinness, Tom Murphy and a new generation of writers such as Richard Dormer, Stacey Gregg, Nancy Harris and Elaine Murphy.We nurture a new generation of Irish artists through our artistic development programmes and commitment to discovering new acting, writing and directing talent.We bring the magic of theatre into Irish class-rooms and communities through our education programme to ensure the Irish theatre tradition is progressed for generations to come.

Tartuffe Post Show Talk - Religious Hypocrisy: A Besetting Irish Failing?
03/05/2023 Duración: 42minAs part of the run of our new production of Moliere's Tartuffe, we initiated a series of post-show discussions on themes emerging from the new version of the play by Frank McGuinness. The discussions focussed on the origins of these themes in the play and broadened out to encompass reflections on their relevance for Ireland in the past and the present. Our second talk covered Me Too: confronting patriarchy and sexual oppression. This conversation was explored by curator Catriona Crowe along with journalist and novelist Gene Kerrigan and journalist and writer Caelainn Hogan. In their talk they examined hypocrisy, trying to answer the question if it’s part of the Irish system of elision of difficult things.

Tartuffe Post Show Talk - Me Too: Confronting Patriarchy and Sexual Oppression
03/05/2023 Duración: 38minAs part of the run of our new production of Moliere's Tartuffe, we initiated a series of post-show discussions on themes emerging from the new version of the play by Frank McGuinness. The discussions focussed on the origins of these themes in the play and broadened out to encompass reflections on their relevance for Ireland in the past and the present. Our first talk covered Me Too: confronting patriarchy and sexual oppression. For this talk, curator Catriona Crowe was joined on stage by Irish Times writer and columnist Roisin Ingle and Consent Project Manager with Dublin Rape Crisis Centre Sarah Monaghan. They discussed the recent Waking the Feminists campaign - how have we done since the campaign was first launched back in 2015 and is there more to be done? The panel also explored if toxic masculinity is a response to women’s attempts to defeat sexual oppression. Facebook - @AbbeyTheatreDublin Instagram - @AbbeyTheatreDublin Twitter - @AbbeyTheatre
