Theatre: Safe House at the Abbey Theatre

Through song, music, recorded voice, and film, we’re outside looking at Grace, a young woman living alone in the countryside and then we’re inside her fractured thoughts – trying to make some sense of it all. Her past arrives broken and chopped up. The present skips forward and days flip into night, seasons jarring into one another.

With lyrics by Tony award-winning playwright and director Enda Walsh and composition by Anna Mullarkey, Safe House will be a unique experience played out in a handball alley on the Peacock Stage.

As Abbey Theatre Artistic Director, Caitríona McLaughlin says: “When Enda Walsh says he’s working on a new project, you don’t hesitate – commissioning him and Anna Mullarkey to write Safe House was one of the first projects I commissioned in my first year as Artistic Director.”

ISL interpreted performance: Wednesday 23 October, 8:00pm
