An exciting and welcome new production of Brian Friel's highly popular masterpiece "Philadelphia, Here I Come!" is being produced by Noel Pearson, and will play the Gaiety Theatre, Dublin from March 10th 2010 for a limited season.

"Philadelphia, Here I Come!" is rightly regarded as perhaps the most significant Irish play written in living memory. It has been credited as having changed the course of Irish theatre when it was first staged in 1964, the premiere being also at the Gaiety Theatre as part of that year's Dublin Theatre Festival, and it immediately established Brian Friel as the leading Irish playwright of his generation.

The play has also always been highly popular, combining a deep well of comedy with a great emotional impact to create a hugely satisfying evening of theatre.

For this production, the internationally proven theatre and film producer Noel Pearson has assembled a team of actors many of whom have significant experience of Brian Friel's work, and have shared in the great success of previous productions of his plays, notably that of the original production of "Dancing at Lughnasa" in 1991, which was nominated for eight Tony Awards on Broadway and went on to win four.

The production will be directed by Dominic Dromgoole, currently Artistic Director of the vibrant Shakespeare's Globe Theatre in London, and designed by Tony award winning designer Jonathan Fensom.

Now booking: 01 677 1717 / Ticketmaster : 0818 719 388

Performances commence 7.30pm
Sat matinees commence 2.30pm
