  5. The first performance of Seán O'Casey's the Plough and the Stars took place at the Abbey theatre on 8 February 1926. The play was well received on its opening night. But on subsequent nights audience unrest began and on 11 February Cumann na mBan and Sinn Féin members rioted at perceived insults to the men who had died during the Rising.

  8. His best known play The Playboy of the Western World was poorly received, due to its bleak ending, depiction of Irish peasants, and idealisation of parricide, leading to hostile audience reactions and riots in Dublin during its opening run at the Abbey Theatre. 2/2

  10. Has anyone seen Na Peirsigh in the Abbey? I always like seeing productions of ancient Greek plays, although they can often go horribly wrong (usually by trying to make them relevant to contemporary concerns in a heavy-handed manner). As the official oldest surviving play in the world I think I have to see this, plus it provides an opportunity to see whether I have made any actual progress with my Irish.

  15. I've always had a soft spot for Gregory's "The Rising of the Moon" (1907), and just read it again last night. I can't help but picture a younger #BrendanGleeson as the Sergeant (and maybe #CillianMurphy as the Ragged Man). It doesn't appear that her own #AbbeyTheatre has produced it since 1970, but I do see that the Irish Repertory Theatre in NYC offered it 5 years ago.

    Has anyone ever seen it performed live? What did you think?

  16. Managed to see Every Brilliant Thing in the Abbey's Peacock theatre during its last day.

    What a beautiful rejection of nihilism and antidote to despair.

    Amy Conroy is one of #Ireland's most interesting actors and playwrights. Am keeping close tabs for future work.

    "If you live a long life and get to the end of it without ever once having felt crushingly depressed, then you probably haven't been paying attention."

  20. Was at #talesfromtheholywell last night at the #Abbeytheatre in #dublin. It was soooooooo good. Great music chat and songs from #damodempsey. Never knew #Damo was sooooo funny. He had me in stitches. Will be hard to top this as a night out for sure.

  22. Quite a unique one man show by Damien Dempsey in the Abbey Theatre Dublin - opening last night resounded with a lengthy standing ovation. Personal, passionate, revealing, with beautiful music and song - directed by playwright Conor McPherson - get a ticket if you can for one of the performances. #damienDempsey #Dublin #theatre #music #Ireland #abbeyTheatre
