Theatre: The Snapper by Roddy Doyle at the Gate Theatre (Irish Sign Language interpreted performance)

The Snapper offers a wickedly funny account of the ups and downs of family life and pregnancy in the Northside Dublin of the late 1980s.

Roddy Doyle’s second instalment of the celebrated Barrytown Trilogy is a story that remains fresh, vivid, astute and relevant for today. It is salty and sweet and the Gate Theatre sits right next door to the Rotunda Hospital where Sharon’s baby ‘the snapper’ is born…

Please note, children must be accompanied by an adult. This production contains adult themes and strong language. Parental discretion is advised.
