In this special engagement, two of Ireland’s finest actors, Dearbhla Molloy and Dermot Crowley, take audiences on a virtual stroll through London’s National Gallery, discovering afresh the Museum’s masterpieces from Van Gogh and Van Eyck, to Rubens and Gainsborough with poetic stories from renowned Irish poet Paul Durcan.
A Touch of the Poet
by Eugene O’Neill
Directed by Ciarán O’Reilly
“Perfectly cast and staged…a shining model for any company putting its work online” – Terry Teachout, The Wall Street Journal
Proud and tempestuous Cornelius Melody owns a run-down inn and tavern near Boston in 1828. Laden with debt, Con clings to his tenuous identity as a landed gentleman and war hero and chastises his wife and daughter for actions that expose the family’s humble Irish origins. When his daughter, Mary, falls in love with a wealthy American guest at their inn, Con’s pride drives him to an explosive reckoning with his true place in the New World.

Critical Response to our Online Summer Season:
“Irish Rep is now way out in front of every other company in America when it comes to marrying technical innovation with artistic quality” – Terry Teachout, The Wall Street Journal
“No one produces Irish playwrights better than the Irish Repertory Theatre. And that has set them both up perfectly for the Zoom age…The result is as close to a theatrical experience as one can hope for these days.” – Joe Westerfield, Newsweek
