Theatre: Grace at Dublin Theatre Festival

27 - 29 Sep 2024 (Past)

Pavillion Theatre, Marine Road, Dún Laoghaire, Dublin



‘A ghost, a sparrow, a mother and a girl. Love doesn’t need words. You can just feel it.’*

Graffiti Theatre Company, Once Off Productions, and Pavilion Theatre present Grace by Jody O’Neill as part of Dublin Theatre Festival 2024.

A new play for young people and families from Jody O’Neill (What I (Don’t) Know About Autism), Grace tells the story of a girl who has a relationship with her father where no words are needed. In fact, Grace doesn’t use words to talk at all. When her father dies suddenly, Grace needs to find a new way to communicate. This exciting new production explores family and communication as Grace and her father invite you into the multisensory landscape of Grace’s world.

All performances of Grace include captions, audio description, and are relaxed performances. If you would like to receive a visual guide or audio programme notes in advance of the performance, please email boxoffice@paviliontheatre.ie.

ISL Interpreted Performances 27 September at 11am (schools performance) and 28 September (1pm showing)
Audio description is facilitated by Mo Harte.

*Words offered by Fiacre Ryan (author of Speechless) in response to his reading of Grace.

Presented in association with Cork Opera House. Supported by Baboró, the Abbey Theatre and the Arts Council of Ireland.

Access provided by Arts & Disability Ireland
