The Cave

by Kevin Barry
directed by Caitríona McLaughlin

’We’re safe from it all ... for a while … when we’re up here’

We meet the McRae brothers in a dead zone in the mountains of south county Sligo.

Sleeping rough in a cave and in trouble with the law, Archie and Bopper are running out of road. This desperate pair have only each other to rely on as they try to restart their van, their lives and their WiFi connection.

The Cave is an unforgettable black comedy from the pen of one of Ireland’s most beloved writers.

This world premiere production, featuring a stellar Irish cast of Aaron Monaghan, Judith Roddy and Tommy Tiernan, is directed by the Abbey Theatre’s Artistic Director, Caitríona McLaughlin.
