The Moat Club's October full-length play is Dublin Carol by Conor McPherson. This production will be directed by Samantha Coventry and will star Michael McHugh as John, Rebecca Byrne as Mary and Nick Pearson-Buffoni as Mark.
Set in Dublin on Christmas Eve, undertaker John Plunkett takes a retrospective look at his own life, revealing lost opportunities, a misused past and one last chance to make it right.
Dublin Carol was produced just three years after McPherson’s internationally acclaimed and award-winning The Weir. It premiered at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in February 2000, and at the Gate Theatre, Dublin, in October of that year, starring Brian Cox as John, Bronagh Gallagher as Mary and Andrew Scott as Mark.
Deirdre O’Kane grabs the zeitgeist once again with a brand new show in a world that feels decidedly off kilter. She contrasts everyday domestic failures with bigger moments of historical injustice, while taking aim at the double tragedies of heartbreak and getting Christmas all wrong. Nothing is sacred and no one is safe from O’Kane’s mischievous eye as she turns irritation, absurdity and outrage into brilliantly observed and hilarious stand-up.
