Following sold-out runs in Galway and Dublin last year and following a London transfer to Kiln Theatre - Landmark Productions and Galway International Arts Festival are delighted to announce in association with Gaiety Theatre a two-week homecoming run of Reunion.
Written and directed by Mark O’Rowe
for 14 performances only
21st October – 2nd November 2025
Landmark Productions and Galway International Arts Festival smash hit co-production of Mark O’Rowe’s Reunion is to return to the Gaiety Theatre this October for a strictly limited run. Tickets are on sale now.
Reunion, Mark O’Rowe’s first new play in six years, received its world premiere at Galway International Arts Festival in July of last year and went on to play a packed run at the Gaiety Theatre. Both runs sold out in record time, leaving a waiting list of people wanting to see it.
The cast for this run at the Gaiety will include a roll-call of Ireland’s finest actors: Ian-Lloyd Anderson (Redemption, Herself, Dublin Oldschool), Venetia Bowe (currently receiving rave reviews for her performance in Lost Lear at Edinburgh Fringe, Asking for It), Stephen Brennan (Somewhere Out There You, Straight to Video, the first actor to play Hamlet at the Abbey), Leonard Buckley (Belfast, Translations, The Long Song), Simone Collins (All You Need is Death, Ghosts, The Great Gatsby), Peter Corboy (Hothouse, currently in A Moon for the Misbegotten at the Almeida, London), Kate Gilmore (SafeHouse, Abbey Theatre; The President, Gate Theatre and Sydney Theatre Company), Stephen Hagan (Hope Street, Best: His Mother’s Son, Twelfth Night and The Comedy of Errors for the RSC), Aislín McGuckin (Outlander, Normal People, Lady Macbeth for the RSC) and Catherine Walker (six-time IFTA-nominee, My Sailor, My Love; Napoleon; House of Gucci).
This Gaiety Theatre run follows the London premiere of the production at the Kiln Theatre where it will run from 11th September – 11th October.
Mark O’Rowe said: ‘I am absolutely delighted that Reunion will be seen by its first London audiences this September. The Kiln is such a beautiful, intimate space, and I can't wait to see how the show plays there before we return to the joyful expanse of the Gaiety Theatre in Dublin, and hopefully beyond.’
Landmark Productions and Galway International Arts Festival are grateful to the Arts Council / An Chomhairle Ealaíon for its support of the premiere production, and to Culture Ireland for its support of the performances at Kiln Theatre in London.
A family gathers for a celebration on an island off the west coast of Ireland.
When an unexpected visitor drops by, tensions begin to surface. Over the next 24 hours, scores will be settled, beliefs challenged, and truths disclosed.
Mark O’Rowe (Howie the Rookie, Intermission, Our Few and Evil Days) turns his laser focus on the deep currents of family life.
