IRISH THEATRE NEWS

June 20IFTA winner Tom Vaughan-Lawlor continues his remarkable trajectory from television powerhouse to stage luminary, joining an exceptional ensemble cast for Conor McPherson’s haunting masterpiece THE WEIR. Fresh from his commanding performances in the critically acclaimed series LOVE/HATE and his recent turn in the gripping historical drama SAY NOTHING, Vaughan-Lawlor takes on the role of Finbar in what promises to be one of the year’s most anticipated theatrical events. The production marks a significant milestone as McPherson himself steps behind the director’s chair for the first time with his own 1997 creation, bringing together Vaughan-Lawlor with Brendan Gleeson, who makes his West End debut in this venture. The casting represents a convergence of Ireland’s finest dramatic talent, with Owen McDonnell fresh from his scene-stealing work in BAD SISTERS and KILLING EVE taking on Brendan, while Kate Phillips, known for her compelling roles in PEAKY BLINDERS and WOLF HALL, embodies the mysterious Valerie. Veteran actor Seán McGinley rounds out the ensemble as Jim, drawing from his extensive work in films like THAT THEY MAY FACE THE RISING SUN. For Vaughan-Lawlor, this return to the stage represents a natural evolution in a career that has seamlessly bridged television and theater. His ability to inhabit complex characters with psychological depth, demonstrated so powerfully in his television work, finds perfect expression in McPherson’s atmospheric thriller. The play’s setting—an isolated Irish pub where four men’s ordinary evening transforms into something far more unsettling with the arrival of a stranger—provides the perfect canvas for Vaughan-Lawlor’s nuanced approach to character development. The production’s journey from Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre through early September before transferring to London’s prestigious Harold Pinter Theatre represents more than just a tour—it’s a homecoming and an international showcase for Irish theatrical excellence. Running through December, the West End engagement positions Vaughan-Lawlor and his fellow cast members at the heart of London’s theater scene during its most vibrant season. This collaboration between Landmark Productions and Kate Horton Productions ensures the kind of production values that will serve McPherson’s atmospheric storytelling and provide the perfect framework for Vaughan-Lawlor’s theatrical return. As audiences prepare for this singular theatrical experience, they can anticipate witnessing one of Ireland’s most compelling actors in a role that promises to showcase the full range of his considerable talents.

May 6In a momentous theatrical event, acclaimed actor Brendan Gleeson is set to make his triumphant return to the stage after a decade-long absence in Conor McPherson’s haunting masterpiece THE WEIR. This special production marks several significant milestones as McPherson directs his own work for the first time since writing it nearly thirty years ago, while Gleeson, whose recent screen performances in THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN and IN BRUGES have cemented his status as one of Ireland’s greatest acting talents, will make his West End debut. The announcement from Landmark Productions and Kate Horton Productions has already created tremendous anticipation among theatre enthusiasts. Gleeson, whose last stage appearance was in THE WALWORTH FARCE at Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre in 2015, will return to that same venue where he began his career, performing from August 8 to September 6 before transferring to London’s Harold Pinter Theatre for a run extending to December 2025. “Conor McPherson’s THE WEIR is one of the rarest plays around,” Gleeson remarked, expressing his excitement about returning to the stage and making his West End debut. McPherson himself shared his disbelief that thirty years have passed since writing the play, calling it “an absolute honour” to bring it to life again with “one of the great titans of Irish acting.” THE WEIR, a profound meditation on human connection, takes place on a stormy night in rural Ireland where four local men gather in an isolated pub. Their usual banter is disrupted by the arrival of a woman named Valerie, leading them to share increasingly unsettling stories to impress her, unaware that she carries a deeply personal tale of her own that will shake them all. The play stands as a testament to our fundamental need for connection, the possibility of finding hope in darkness, and the enduring power of storytelling. Kate Horton described being “spellbound” by the play at its Royal Court premiere and expressed joy at bringing together such titans of Irish and international theatre. Anne Clarke of Landmark Productions recalled the thrill of learning about the project, having previously worked with Gleeson on THE WALWORTH FARCE alongside his sons Brian and Domhnall. This new production promises to be an extraordinary theatrical event, bringing together a legendary actor at the height of his powers with one of contemporary drama’s most moving and profound works, offering audiences in both Dublin and London a rare opportunity to witness theatrical magic in the making.

April 30In a significant theatrical announcement, Aidan Turner will star alongside Lesley Manville and Monica Barbaro in an eagerly anticipated revival of LES LIAISONS DANGEREUSES at London’s National Theatre. This marks the first time Christopher Hampton’s celebrated adaptation of Pierre Choderlos de Laclos’ scandalous novel will grace the National’s stage, with performances expected to begin in spring 2026. The production reunites acclaimed director Marianne Elliott with the venue after a nine-year absence, forming a centerpiece of Indhu Rubasingham’s inaugural season as Artistic Director. For Turner, this role represents another prestigious addition to a career that has evolved dramatically since his breakout in POLDARK. The Irish actor has strategically balanced his screen work with challenging stage performances, including his critically lauded turn in Martin McDonagh’s THE LIEUTENANT OF INISHMORE. Turner will share the stage with BAFTA and Olivier Award-winner Manville, who joins fresh from her triumphant, award-winning performance in OEDIPUS at Wyndham’s Theatre—a production now Broadway-bound. Completing the high-profile casting trio is Barbaro, known for her role in TOP GUN: MAVERICK. The creative team assembling around this production includes set designer Rosanna Vize, costume designer Natalie Roar, movement director Tom Jackson Greaves, lighting designer James Farncombe, and sound designer Ian Dickson. Elliott’s return to the National, where her previous credits include ANGELS IN AMERICA, THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME, and co-direction of WAR HORSE, promises to bring fresh perspective to Hampton’s 1985 adaptation, known for its sharp wit, psychological complexity, and themes of manipulation and seduction. While exact dates, further casting details, and ticket information remain forthcoming, the production’s announcement as part of a 16-show season signals Rubasingham’s ambitious artistic vision for one of the world’s leading theatrical institutions.

April 25John Carney’s beloved 2016 film SING STREET continues its artistic journey as it prepares for its UK stage premiere at London’s Lyric Hammersmith Theatre this summer. The musical adaptation, running from July 8 to August 23, 2025, brings the ’80s-infused coming-of-age story to British audiences following successful runs in Boston and New York. In an exciting casting announcement, Adam Hunter will make his musical theatre debut as Brendan, a fitting role considering his history with the production. Hunter featured prominently on the original film soundtrack and served as the featured vocalist on the OST version of “To Find You.” To commemorate this full-circle moment, producers have released a new track titled “Outside,” performed by Hunter, which offers a glimpse into Brendan’s character—a young man afraid to venture beyond his room into the world. “SING STREET has followed me throughout my career,” Hunter reflects. “Now, to be making my live theatre debut with this beautiful stage adaptation, featuring an incredible set of songs from the movie with brand-new music for the stage is a dream.” Set in Dublin in 1982, SING STREET tells the story of sixteen-year-old Conor who forms a band to impress the mysterious aspiring model Raphina. Against the backdrop of family turmoil and the challenges of fitting into a new Catholic school, Conor discovers the transformative power of music and young love. The musical preserves the film’s exploration of these themes while expanding the emotional landscape through new compositions. The stage adaptation boasts an impressive pedigree of Tony Award-winning talent. Enda Walsh, known for his work on ONCE (another John Carney film adaptation), pens the book, while Rebecca Taichman directs. The music comes from Gary Clark (of Danny Wilson fame) and John Carney himself, combining beloved songs from the original film with fresh material crafted specifically for the stage production.

April 15In a stunning testament to his artistic versatility, Andrew Scott’s groundbreaking one-man adaptation of UNCLE VANYA is extending its Off-Broadway run before even beginning performances, a reflection of the actor’s meteoric rise in recent years. The production, now set to start on March 10 and continue through May 11, 2025, brings Scott’s tour-de-force performance to American audiences at the Lucille Lortel Theatre following its acclaimed West End run and subsequent film capture. The innovative adaptation sees Scott embodying all eight characters in Chekhov’s classic drama, where a professor and his young wife visit their rural estate managed by family members Vanya and Sonya, setting off a chain of romantic entanglements and tensions that culminate when the professor announces plans to sell the property. Scott developed this ambitious theatrical experiment alongside adaptor Simon Stephens, designer Rosanna Vize, and director Sam Yates, with rehearsals recently commencing in London. Scott’s recent career trajectory has been nothing short of extraordinary. While theater aficionados have long appreciated his stage presence in productions like HAMLET, PRESENT LAUGHTER, and SEA WALL, his mainstream popularity has surged through his mesmerizing performances in FLEABAG, RIPLEY, and ALL OF US STRANGERS. This latest venture highlights Scott’s continued commitment to challenging material despite his Hollywood success, returning to the American stage for the first time since his 2006 Broadway debut in THE VERTICAL HOUR alongside Julianne Moore and Bill Nighy. The production features an impressive creative team including lighting design by James Farncombe, sound design by Dan Balfour, video design by Jack Phelan, movement direction by Michela Meazza, music by Kelly Moran, and costume design by Natalie Pryce. Produced by Wessex Grove, Gavin Kalin Productions, and Kater Gordon, with Wagner Johnson Productions serving as executive producers, this extended run offers theatrical audiences a rare opportunity to witness one of today’s most captivating performers at the height of his artistic powers, transforming Chekhov’s ensemble drama into a singular showcase of his remarkable range. [...]
March 18Tennessee Williams’ haunting classic A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE has returned to New York with fresh wounds and raw nerves, now playing at Brooklyn Academy of Music in a stripped-down London import starring Paul Mescal, the Irish actor whose meteoric rise continues to captivate audiences worldwide. Fresh from commanding the Roman arena in Ridley Scott’s GLADIATOR II, Mescal brings a youthful vitality and magnetic presence to Stanley Kowalski, the role immortalized by Marlon Brando. His performance stands as testament to his remarkable versatility, seamlessly transitioning from epic historical blockbusters to intimate psychological drama with the confidence of an actor far beyond his years. Rebecca Frecknall’s minimalist production—running a brisk three hours—reduces Williams’ humid New Orleans setting to its bare essentials: a square platform suggesting a boxing ring without ropes, surrounded by darkness. A percussionist perched above the stage punctuates moments of tension and violence like audible manifestations of Blanche’s deteriorating psyche. This stark approach, which might have been electrifying in a smaller venue, sometimes struggles to connect across the expansive Harvey Theater, creating a self-conscious distance that works against the play’s inherent intimacy. Patsy Ferran’s Blanche DuBois trembles on the edge of sanity throughout, her jittery portrayal emphasizing the character’s fragility and impending psychological collapse rather than lingering in her faded Southern glamour. Unlike other recent productions—the 2009 Sydney production with Cate Blanchett that sold out BAM but never reached Broadway, or the disappointing 2005 and 2012 Broadway revivals with Natasha Richardson and Nicole Ari Parker respectively—this interpretation refuses to indulge in Blanche’s delusions of gentility or invite the audience to share in her fantasies. Frecknall, who previously divided critics with her Broadway revival of CABARET, opts for stylized movement and percussive punctuation over the dreamy, poetic atmosphere traditionally associated with Williams’ work. The violence feels gratuitous at times, the concept heavy-handed. Yet Mescal’s presence grounds the production, his Stanley representing another impressive credential in a career that has rapidly evolved from indie darling in NORMAL PEOPLE to commanding Hollywood star. As he continues this remarkable trajectory between stage and screen, this STREETCAR ultimately serves as further evidence of Mescal’s extraordinary talent and range, even when the production surrounding him fails to fully realize Williams’ tragic vision of desire and delusion in the American South.

March 13Andrew Scott, the Emmy-nominated star of FLEABAG and ALL OF US STRANGERS, has brought his tour-de-force performance to New York as Simon Stephens’s radical adaptation of VANYA begins previews at the Lucille Lortel Theatre. Fresh from his recent cinematic triumphs in ALL OF US STRANGERS and RIPLEY, Scott now reprises the Olivier Award-winning role that London critics declared “a revelation” during its acclaimed run at the Duke of York’s Theatre in late 2023. This isn’t just another revival of Chekhov’s classic—it’s a theatrical high-wire act where Scott inhabits every character in the 105-minute production. While luminaries like Laurence Olivier, Ian McKellen, and Peter O’Toole have grappled with the titular role throughout theatrical history, Scott breaks new ground by embodying the entire dramatis personae. The actor, who first captivated American audiences in the BBC’s SHERLOCK before achieving global recognition as the “Hot Priest” in FLEABAG, brings his remarkable emotional range to this innovative staging. The production, co-created by Scott alongside adapter Simon Stephens, director Sam Yates, and designer Rosanna Vize, “explores the kaleidoscope of human emotions, harnessing the power of the intimate bond between actor and audience to delve deeper into the human psyche.” Scott’s involvement extends beyond mere performance—his creative partnership with the production team reflects his growing artistic influence following his meteoric rise in film and television. Scott’s return to New York theater marks a significant moment for the actor, who made his Broadway debut in 2006 in David Hare’s THE VERTICAL HOUR. Now, with an Olivier Award and a BAFTA already secured, and coming off his critically acclaimed performance in Andrew Haigh’s tender ghost story ALL OF US STRANGERS, Scott confirms his status as one of our most versatile performing artists. The off-Broadway run is scheduled for just eight weeks with an official opening night set for March 18. Theater enthusiasts unable to secure tickets may find solace in knowing the London production is currently streaming on National Theatre at Home, though nothing compares to witnessing Scott’s transformative performance live. This limited engagement, executive produced by Wagner Johnson Productions, features the design talents of James Farncombe (lighting), Dan Balfour (sound), Jack Phelan (video), Michela Meazza (movement), and Natalie Pryce (costumes), with Marianna Gailus serving as Scott’s understudy.

February 26DERRY GIRLS sensation Saoirse-Monica Jackson is set to captivate New York audiences in her Off-Broadway debut this spring. The beloved actress, known for portraying Erin Quinn in the hit series, will headline the world premiere of IRISHTOWN at the Irish Repertory Theatre’s Francis J. Greenburger Mainstage, running April 2 to May 25, 2025, with an official opening on April 13. This fresh comedy, penned by Ciara Elizabeth Smyth and directed by Nicola Murphy Dubey, delves into the chaotic world of a Dublin theatre company. As rehearsals progress, the cast grows increasingly concerned that their playwright has created something too experimental and insufficiently Irish. Taking matters into their own hands to restore authentic Irish elements, they inadvertently unleash theatrical mayhem. Jackson won’t be alone on stage – the production boasts an impressive ensemble including Tony nominee Kate Burton of GREY’S ANATOMY fame, Angela Reed from HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD, and Purgatory star Kevin Oliver Lynch, with Roger Clark contributing voiceover work. The 31-year-old actress has been steadily building an impressive portfolio beyond her breakout role in Derry Girls. Her film credits include FINDING YOU, THE FLASH, and UPGRADED, while her television work recently expanded to include Netflix’s black comedy series THE DECAMERON alongside Zosia Mamet. This limited Off-Broadway run represents an exciting new chapter for Jackson as she transitions from screen to stage, bringing her distinctive talent to New York’s vibrant theatre scene. [...]
January 7Fresh from two triumphant, sold-out runs in London’s West End, this stunning revival of Tennessee Williams’s A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE comes to the Brooklyn Academy of Music for an exclusive five-week engagement. The production stars Paul Mescal (GLADIATOR II, AFTERSUN, ALL OF US STRANGERS) as Stanley Kowalski, alongside Patsy Ferran (LIVING, GOD’S OWN COUNTRY) as Blanche DuBois and Anjana Vasan (KILLING EVE, BLACK MIRROR) as Stella Kowalski. At the helm is Olivier Award-winning director Rebecca Frecknall (CABARET, SUMMER AND SMOKE). In the sultry heat of New Orleans, Blanche DuBois arrives at her sister Stella’s apartment, seeking refuge with nowhere else to turn. As the temperature rises, so does the tension within the cramped quarters. Stanley, portrayed by Mescal with what The New York Times calls “swagger and sensitivity,” begins to unravel the carefully woven threads of Blanche’s past. As her meticulously constructed façade begins to crumble, the production reveals the dark undercurrents that pulse beneath the surface of one of America’s greatest plays. Due to exceptional demand, additional matinee performances have been added on Thursday, March 13 at 1:30pm, Wednesday, March 19 at 1:30pm, Wednesday, March 26 at 1:30pm, and Wednesday, April 2 at 1:30pm.

Ronan re-watches filmography

Ronan re-watches filmography

Ronan re-watches filmography

Saoirse Ronan takes a walk down memory lane as she re-watches scenes from her classic works. Between 2020 and 2024, Ronan’s film career continued to demonstrate her versatility as an actor. She appeared in AMMONITE alongside Kate Winslet in 2020, playing Charlotte Murchison in the historical drama. In 2022, she took on a lighter role in SEE HOW THEY RUN as Constable Stalker, starring opposite Sam Rockwell in the 1950s-set murder mystery comedy.

The year 2024 has proved particularly significant for Ronan’s career, featuring in three notable films: THE OUTRUN, FOE (a science fiction thriller with Paul Mescal), and BLITZ, which releases on Apple TV+ on November 22, 2024. Both THE OUTRUN and BLITZ have generated considerable awards buzz.

THE OUTRUN also marked an important milestone as Ronan’s first venture into production, which she undertook alongside her husband Jack Lowden. Speaking to Digital Spy about this new role, she described it as “exactly what I needed,” explaining that it helped her “think about the bigger picture” and allowed her to focus her energy on working with others in a different capacity.

If Ronan receives Oscar nominations for either THE OUTRUN or BLITZ, it would mark her fifth nomination (potentially sixth if nominated for both). This would add to her impressive track record of Academy recognition, which began with her breakthrough role in ATONEMENT, for which she received a Best Supporting Actress nomination.

In a revealing new interview with ELLE magazine, Irish actress Saoirse Ronan shares lots of personal details. Ronan stands at a fascinating turning point in her career, taking on roles that challenge her accessible image. Her latest venture, THE OUTRUN, sees her not only starring but stepping into a producer role alongside her husband, Jack Lowden. The film, based on a memoir, pushed Ronan to explore the complex territory of addiction recovery – a subject that hits close to home.

“Addiction touched my life through people I love,” she reveals, her voice softening. “You start with anger, with this impossible question: ‘Why can’t they just stop?’ But gradually, you learn to see it as the illness it truly is.” She pauses, considering her words carefully. “Taking on this role became my way of processing that journey, of understanding what I couldn’t before.”

This introspective project runs parallel to her work in Steve McQueen’s BLITZ, a World War II drama that strips away the polished veneer of historical cinema. As a mother to a biracial child in war-torn London, Ronan confronts the uglier truths of British society during the Blitz – the racism that persisted even as bombs fell. The role marked several firsts: her debut as an on-screen mother and her first time performing musical numbers, for which she underwent intensive vocal training.

There’s a newfound boldness in how Ronan approaches her craft these days. “I used to worry about looking pretty, about staying within the lines,” she admits, deliberately contorting her face to make a point. “Now? I’m more interested in the mess, in the uncomfortable moments that make characters real.”

The conversation shifts to her upcoming directorial debut, a short film she’s writing. Her eyes light up when discussing how Greta Gerwig’s evolution from actor to filmmaker has inspired her own ambitions behind the camera. Yet there’s a touch of playful regret when she mentions missing out on BARBIE, alongside her frequent co-star Timothée Chalamet, due to scheduling conflicts. She laughs about it now: “We’re like jealous siblings, watching our favorite director make magic without us.”

At 29, Ronan has already spent two decades in front of the camera, but she’s clearly just getting started. Her trajectory suggests an artist increasingly willing to push boundaries, whether through producing, directing, or taking on roles that scrape away at her comfortable image as cinema’s approachable ingenue.

Daniel Day-Lewis returns in ANEMONE

Daniel Day-Lewis returns to acting

Daniel Day-Lewis returns to acting

Daniel Day-Lewis is returning to acting in ANEMONE from Ronan Day-Lewis. The feature is from first time director Ronan Day-Lewis, the son of the 3x Oscar winning actor. Father and son wrote the screenplay which explores the intricate relationships between fathers, sons and brothers and the dynamics of familial bonds. The last time Day-Lewis was on the big screen was Focus Features’ Paul Thomas Anderson movie PHANTOM THREAD in 2017. Daniel Day-Lewis will star with Sean Bean, Samantha Morton, Samuel Bottomley and Safia Oakley-Green.

Day-Lewis is widely regarded as one of the greatest actors of his generation, known for his intense method acting and selective approach to roles. He began his career in the 1980s with notable performances in films like MY BEAUTIFUL LAUNDRETTE (1985) and A ROOM WITH A VIEW (1985). His breakthrough came with MY LEFT FOOT (1989), for which he won his first Academy Award for Best Actor, portraying writer and artist Christy Brown.

Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, Day-Lewis continued to showcase his versatility and commitment to his craft. He delivered powerful performances in films such as THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS (1992), IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER (1993), and GANGS OF NEW YORK (2002). His portrayal of oil tycoon Daniel Plainview in THERE WILL BE BLOOD (2007) earned him his second Oscar and is considered one of the greatest acting performances in cinema history.

Day-Lewis’ later career was marked by his continued excellence and increasing selectivity. He won a third Oscar for his portrayal of Abraham Lincoln in Steven Spielberg’s LINCOLN (2012). His final film before retiring was PHANTOM THREAD (2017), for which he received his sixth Oscar nomination. Throughout his career, Day-Lewis was known for fully immersing himself in his roles, often staying in character even when not filming, and for the long breaks he took between projects.

SWING BOUT extends run in Irish theatres

SWING BOUT now in Irish theatres

SWING BOUT now in Irish theatres

By popular demand, a new Cork film is enjoying an extended theatre run in Ireland.

SWING BOUT is an intense crime/thriller set backstage at a major boxing event, tracing Tony Gale’s, played by Ciara Berkeley (THE DECEIVED, NORMAL PEOPLE), tumultuous journey from the dressing room to her ring walk in a night of deceit, betrayal, and life-altering decisions. Toni, like most boxers at the beginning of their fight career, has dreams of being a world champion, but, here on fight night, amid the bright lights and the chance to box in front of a huge TV audience on a major fight card, reality strikes hard and Toni finds herself low on confidence and even lower on cash. She becomes entangled in a web of corruption spun by her promoters, The Casey Brothers. They and her conniving coach tempt her into taking a dive against a hot prospect with connections to the underworld in exchange for a lucrative payoff.

As tensions mount in the dressing room, Toni wrestles with her conscience; a betting scandal brews within the underworld; illicit affairs are exposed involving her coach; The Casey Brothers face a potential murder inquiry; and Toni’s only real friend fights for her life due to inadequate medical attention after collapsing post-fight. Pushed to her physical and emotional limits, Toni confronts the brutal truths of the underworld and the sacrifices demanded by her dreams. With its gripping narrative and bold characters, SWING BOUT is an independent Irish made film that keeps the audience on edge.
