GIAF Audiences Rave About The Abbey’s Dublin By Lamplight

GIAF 17 presents The Abbey Theatre’s production of Dublin by Lamplight, a hilarious commedia dell’arte-style show which The Sunday Independent describes as “a delightful romp of revolutionary fantasy.”

Dublin By Lamplight is the Corn Exchange’s much loved, alternative version of the founding of a national theatre. Amidst the filth and fury of Dublin 1904, the theatrical event of the century is about to explode! Fading stars, rebels, whores and romantics irreverently expose the strange and lurid world of Dublin by Lamplight.

An instant hit when it first premiered over 10 years ago, this major revival for the Abbey Theatre in Spring 2017 features razor–sharp direction by Annie Ryan and Corn Exchange’s head spinning and exquisite commedia dell’arte style. This hugely entertaining and anarchic production could be a night to change a nation’s destiny! Unless it all goes horribly wrong...
