About the play:
‘Every great man nowadays has his disciples, and it is always Judas who writes the biography.’
Oscar Unwritten is a play that explores Wilde’s life through Robbie Ross’s impossible question: should Oscar’s full story ever be told? As Ross wrestles with the decision he faced in reality, memory and imagination begin to blur, and the past comes vividly to life around him.
Figures from Wilde’s world — Bosie, Constance, and Carson — appear alongside the characters that made him famous. Together they portray the triumph, scandal, brilliance and tragedy of Wilde’s life, tracing his journey from dazzling celebrity to devastating downfall.
Through this shifting world of memory, art and accusation, Oscar Unwritten pieces together a portrait of one of the nineteenth century’s most brilliant and contradictory literary figures.8 attendees
Ulster American matinée (Abbey Theatre)
Abbey Theatre, 26/27 Abbey Street Lower, Dublin 1, D, IEUlster American, written by David Ireland and directed by Ciarán O’Reilly, starring Max Baker, Matthew Broderick and Geraldine Hughes, is a savagely funny play that dissects the intersection of identity politics, ego, privilege, and the Northern Irish Troubles with satirical precision.
Please book your own ticket. Welcome to add your seat number to the comments for others can secure adjacent seats.## " ★★★★★ - One of the best plays I have seen in years." Sarah Downs, The Front Row Centre
About:
On the evening before rehearsals begin for her new work, Ulster-born playwright Ruth Davenport visits the home of English director Leigh Carver, along with Oscar-winning Hollywood star Jay Conway who has just arrived in London to star in the world premiere.
What begins as a cordial gathering to discuss the upcoming production quickly descends into a brutal psychological brawl as egos, ideologies, and historical baggage collide. A theatrical hand grenade disguised as a drawing-room comedy, "Ulster American" explosively reveals some raw contradictions at the heart of modern storytelling and political posturing.

About:
Tá Saoirse, Róisín agus Aoife ag dul i ngleic le ceisteanna móra an tsaoil: Cé mise? Cad atá i ndán dom? Cad go díreach atá i gceist leis an Modh Coinníollach?
Leis an gcoláiste i mbaol, tá muintir an phobail ag streachailt lena gceisteanna féin - an féidir leo an fód a sheasamh?
Is ceoldráma nua é SAOIRSE a fhágfaidh ceol i do cheann agus lorg ar do chroí. First summer of freedom. First time in the Gaeltacht. First loves and losses.
