Electra
NUI Galway Centre for Drama
Frank McGuinness’s adaptation of Sophocles’ "Electra" has been described by "New York Times" critic Peter Mark as a “sleek and hypnotic text” which showcases “soul-satisfying drama at its most passionately, intensely alive.” This production resurrects the history of the House of Atreus to ask what does Electra mean today and what can we learn by returning to the classics through the lens of the now? Frank McGuinness will be attending the Monday Morning performance with talk back to follow.
Sunday 9th-Tuesday 12th @ 8pm

Julius Caesar
Cyclone Rep
Inspired by Nelson Mandela’s imprisonment on Robben Island where a forbidden copy of Julius Caesar helped Mandela cope with his confinement. Mandela’s inspiration has, in turn, inspired Cyclone to revisit Julius Caesar in an Irish Context. The time is 1981 and the place is Northern Ireland. An illegal copy of Julius Caesar is performed by prisoners struggling with their internment and the spectre of the hunger strikes.

Venue: Bailey Allen Hall
