Had a wonderful day at the Abbey theatre yesterday watching Marina Carr's Oedipus trilogy. Exciting and unexpected writing throughout, terrific design and directing, and the cast was truly fantastic. Love to be in awe of theatre.

Marina Carr’s The Boy two-fer (like the Cave back in the summer) at the Abbey in Dublin is excellent theatre. Enjoyed its sumptuous production and stellar performances over the last two nights. It runs for a few more days! Don’t miss it. @obrienpmark.bsky.social @abbeytheatre.bsky.social

Finally saw a show @abbeytheatre.bsky.social Such a wonderful building. So much history Marina Carr, Catriona McLaughlin & Eileen Walsh 🇮🇪👍🏻 #abbeytheatre

Eileen Walsh speaks to Sarah Gill for IMAGE Magazine, discussing all things #TheBoy and how Marina Carr has adapted the Oedipus story for modern Irish audiences. https://www.image.ie/living/eileen-walsh-my-schooling-was-heavily-church-ridden-so-it-informs-a-huge-amount-of-my-work-970752

Big afternoon and evening ahead at @abbeytheatre.bsky.social Very excited to experience both plays on the one day.

Well, I continued my habit of seeking out incredibly depressing art for “fun” — but @abbeytheatre.bsky.social’s production of “The Boy” was absolutely worth it. One day, two plays, and many stellar performances — especially Eileen Walsh and Frank Blake. Highly recommend.
