This year's Festival programme promises to be an amazing showcase for new Irish writing with Enda Walsh's Ballyturk a Festival co-production with Landmark Productions, Brian and Christian O'Reilly's Chapatti a Festival co-production with Northlight Theatre already on sale.
We are thrilled that Druid have announced their world premiere production of Irish playwright Brian Martin playfully comic and uncompromisingly savage ode to modern Ireland, Be Infants in Evil, directed by Oonagh Murphy. Be Infants in Evil is Brian’s debut work, and featured as part of the 2013 Druid Debuts programme during last year's Festival. The production will star Bailey Hayden, Roxanna Nic Liam, Marion O’Dwyer and ensemble member Marty Rea.
Director Oonagh Murphy commented,
“I am delighted to be working with Druid for the first time on Be Infants in Evil at Galway Arts Festival. It's a very exciting debut play about Ireland from a startling, fresh voice. Producing new plays by emerging Irish talent is something Druid do best, and the project has attracted some incredible collaborators, including some of my favourite Irish actors.”
