Housed in an intimate (if slightly awkward) L-shaped, 137-seat venue, this company puts on compelling shows by Irish and Irish-American playwrights. Fine revivals of classics by the likes of Oscar Wilde and George Bernard Shaw alternate with plays by lesser-known modern authors.
The Irish Rep, a leader in virtual theater during the shutdown, reopens its mainstage to live performance with the debut play by the Irish novelist Kevin Barry (Night Boat to Tangier). Maeve Higgins and company mainstay John Keating play adult siblings whose elderly father clings inconveniently to life. Ciarán O’Reilly directs this dark comedy, which is set in Cork.
