The 2019 Origin's 1st Irish Theatre Festival, New York's all-Irish theatre festival and the world's only festival devoted exclusively to producing the plays of contemporary Irish playwrights from around the world, settles in to its new January time slot, running three weeks from January 9 to 28. A total 17 events, including six mainstage productions from Belfast, Derry, Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Queens and Manhattan, will be seen in and out of competition. Among the productions, five are US premieres; one is a world premiere. 15 contemporary Irish writers are represented with work in performance.
One of the contributions to the Women's Voices Theatre Festival is The Keegan Theatre's THE DEALER OF BALLYNAFEIGH, a new dark comedy/farce from Rosemary Jenkinson, and directed by Abigail Isaac Fine.
Keegan Theatre will reopen its doors and launch its 18th season with the show that started it all for the company: Tennessee Williams' masterpiece CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF.
The Keegan Theatre closes out its 17th season with the world premiere A Midsummer Night's Riot, reuniting the artistic team of playwright Rosemary Jenkinson, director Abigail Isaac, and Josh Sticklin in another one-man tour de force. This is Keegan's third time producing acclaimed Irish playwright Rosemary Jenkinson's work - previous shows Basra Boy and Cuchullain were met with widespread critical praise, and audiences were delighted and moved by the wicked wit and piercing humanity in the script. The press opening is Sunday, May 18 at 3:00pm.
