Act 1 Presents: Dublin By Lamplight

Register

"A Night to Change a Nation’s Destiny."

Written by Michael West in collaboration with The Corn Exchange
Director: David Pica

Dublin, 1904. The city is a powder keg of filth, fury, and looming revolution. As King Edward VII prepares for his royal visit, a ragtag troupe of dreamers, rebels, and divas is determined to launch the "Irish National Theatre of Ireland." But in a city where the line between the stage and the street is dangerously thin, the opening night of their heroic epic, The Wooing of Emer, might just set the whole city ablaze. Lauded by The Irish Times for being "funny, clever, strange and thoughtful," Dublin by Lamplight is an anarchic, fast-paced, and heartbreaking alternative history of the founding of Ireland's national theatre.
