This was a joy. The Cave at the Abbey Theatre Dublin. @abbeytheatre.bsky.social

Saw The Cave in @abbeytheatre.bsky.social last night. What a gorgeous black beauty of a play in thirteen scenes about the unbearable reality of the past and the unbearable unreality of the present wrapped up in the probability of familial love in all of its damage. Really loved it…

Happy birthday William Butler Yeats 🥳 Alongside Lady Gregory, he co-founded the Abbey Theatre in 1904. How fitting that The Cave, set in the same Sligo landscape that inspired him so, opens on the Abbey Stage tonight👏

Go see this play. Outshtanding. AND Dermot and Derek at the @abbeytheatre.bsky.social got my #cochlearimplant plugged into the sound desk for sensational sound 👏👏👏👏👏
