Theatre: Grania at the Abbey Theatre

21 Sep - 26 Oct 2024 (Past)

26/27 Abbey Street Lower, Dublin 1



Love. Lust. Power. Desire.

We all live in a network of complex relationships, with families, friends, partners and our communities. However, as Finn declares ‘Love is the disturber’ and it can upset this delicate balance, as friends turn on friends and insiders become outsiders, upending the order of our worlds.

In Lady Gregory’s groundbreaking 1912 play, Grania, these age-old dynamics come to life, through the story of three legendary Irish figures, Gráinne, Diarmuid and Fionn Mac Cumhaill.

Grania Programme notes

Welcome to the world of Grania by Lady Gregory – a play where age-old dynamics of love, lust, power and desire come to life through the story of three legendary Irish figures, Gráinne, Diarmuid and Fionn Mac Cumhaill.

‘Diarmuid and Gráinne is considered one of the greatest love stories of all time. In Grania, Lady Gregory’s version certainly is that, but not in the way you might think."

Caitríona McLaughlin, director
