Remember that storm we warned you about? The one off the west coast of Ireland? Well here it comes.
DruidShakespeare: The History Plays, the epic combination of Shakespeare’s four Henry plays adapted by Mark O’Rowe and produced by Ireland’s one and only Druid Theatre Company, is heading toward the light. It was announced today that the show will make landfall in North America at this year’s Lincoln Center Festival on July 7-19. It will premiere first in Galway in May.
Directed by Garry Hynes, the production includes a blinding array of Irish acting talent including Clare Barrett, Derbhle Crotty, Gavin Drea, Bosco Hogan, Garrett Lombard, Karen McCartney, Charlotte McCurry, Aaron Monaghan, Marie Mullen, Rory Nolan, Aisling O’Sullivan, John Olohan, and Marty Rea.
Wow. That would be a dream team.
There’s no way you can miss this.
So don’t.
This will be Druid’s fourth visit to the festival after DruidSynge in 2006, The Silver Tassie in 2011 and DruidMurphy in 2012.
