Theatre: The Dead by James Joyce

ANU and Landmark come together, in association with MoLI, to present a thrilling immersive theatre experience of The Dead, in the rich historical interior and unseen rooms of UCD Newman House at 85 St Stephen’s Green.

The cast of 12 of Ireland’s most exciting actors includes Marty Rea as Gabriel Conroy and Maeve Fitzgerald as Gretta, joined by John Cronin, Oliver Flitcroft, Michael Glenn Murphy, Úna Kavanagh, Pattie Maguire, Marie Mullen, Bairbre Ní Chaoimh, Roseanna Purcell, Billie Traynor and Matthew Williamson.

The Misses Morkan’s annual dance was always a great affair. The evening will start as audiences arrive in the hallway of 85 St Stephen’s Green, to be greeted by the maid Lily – who is literally run off her feet – before taking the journey up the opulent staircase, to embark on an evening of laughter, music and dance – ending in an epiphany like no other.

Adapted and directed by Louise Lowe, the creative team also includes scenographer Owen Boss, costume designer Joan O’Clery, lighting designer Ciarán Bagnall, sound designer and composer Carl Kennedy, choreographer Matthew Williamson and Musical Director Danny Forde. The producing team includes Lynnette Moran and Matthew Smyth (ANU) and Anne Clarke (Landmark).
