Patron Night: Ask the Directors

On Zoom
As we launch our Theatre @ Home Winter Festival, Irish Rep members are invited to take part in a conversation with Irish Rep’s founders, Artistic Director Charlotte Moore and Producing Director Ciarán O’Reilly, in what is sure to be an evocative conversation, including questions like “How on earth did you produce and direct nine plays during a pandemic?” Since March of last year, Charlotte Moore has directed Molly Sweeney; Love, Noël: The Songs and Letters of Noël Coward; and Meet Me in St. Louis. And Ciarán O’Reilly has directed The Weir and A Touch of the Poet, performed in Molly Sweeney, and acted as producer for just about everything else.
