Droichead are thrilled to announce our THEATRE CLUB for Spring/Summer 2025. This season we have a programme of seven incredible shows, including a trip off-site to the Abbey Theatre.
The season will kick off with the return of Livin' Dred (Tarry Flynn, Super Bogger) with a classic, The Playboy of the Western World directed by Aaron Monaghan; followed by Frankie McCafferty’s Lisdoon-Nirvana based on the last music festival in 1983 in Lisdoonvarna; there is ground breaking story telling from Mary Kate O' Flanagan in Making A Show of Myself, the hilarious Chicken by Eva O Connor and Hildegard Ryan, and the story of Nora Joyce in A Rare Journey by Paula Greevy-Lee, as well as that trip to the Abbey Theatre to see Youth’s The Season - ? as part of the Gregory Project, (ticket and bus included). Finally as a treat for 2025, (celebrating our 35th year) we are throwing in Chapterhouse’s Pride and Prejudice at Oldbridge. So seven great plays, all for €95…(and there will be a work in progress or two as well!)
Set up in 2017, and heading into its 14th season, Droichead Theatre Club brings audiences together to see a play, and like a book club, our audiences can share their views, thoughts and impressions informally post show with the cast and creatives. If this is your first or your 50th play, it doesn't matter, come along, and be part of the drama at Droichead.
Seven great plays for €95 including ticket & return bus trip from Drogheda to the Abbey Theatre, and outdoor theatre at Oldbridge.
