Marble By Marina Carr: WORLD PREMIERE

Audio described performance on Saturday 14 March 2.00pm

Two friends. Two marriages. One dream of marble.

“It’s as if my real life is happening when I go to sleep and you and I are a dream, a fragment, difficult to remember on waking. Being awake is no longer important”
As the line between real life and the dream world blurs, jealousy grips and life for Ben and Catherine, and for Art and Anne begins to unravel.

In this taut, funny and incisive new play, Marina Carr (Woman and Scarecrow, Ariel, By the Bog of Cats,The Mai, Portia Coughlan) lays bare the nature of desire and fidelity, courage and anxiety. Marble is a compelling play about friendship, marriage and the power of the subconscious.

‘Carr’s writing is savage: it is mordant, acerbic and deeply human.’ Sunday Tribune

The Comedy of Errors by William Shakespeare

Audio described performance on Saturday 2 May 2.00pm

It’s amazing how much can happen in one day.

One man is sentenced to death, another finds love. One wife finds her long lost husband, another finds she has two husbands!

In Shakespeare’s darkly mischievous The Comedy of Errors, two sets of identical twins are separated in childhood. Years later, they all show up in the same place at the same time. The Comedy of Errors tells the story of a father, mother, brothers, sisters, masters and servants, all of whom find themselves confused, baffled and bewildered by the events of a single day.

The team that brought you the hugely popular Romeo and Juliet (2008) and the soaring production of Julius Caesar (2007), returns to the Abbey with this modern take on Shakespeare’s earliest romantic comedy.
