Our 2026 season – Strange Country: Ireland in America – continues this autumn with ‘A Moon for the Misbegotten’ by Eugene O’Neill.

Over the course of one day and night in 1920s rural Connecticut, Josie Hogan, the last of her immigrant Irish family left at home with her alcoholic father, and their anguished landlord, James Tyrone, long for escape - she from her life, and he from his loss.

Directed by Garry Hynes, with set and costume design by Francis O’Connor, 'A Moon for the Misbegotten' sees Druid return to the work of Pulitzer, Nobel and Tony Award winning playwright Eugene O’Neill for the first time since 2007. The cast is Lorcan Cranitch, Rory Nolan, Marty Rea, Cathal Ryan, and Eileen Walsh.

✨ BIG NEWS! We are so excited to announce our next production - Hill of the Hares by Maria Tivnan

“there might be some kind of solace in what surrounds us”

After nine years apart, Cass and Michael meet again on the day of a funeral drawn back to the place they call home, and to the night that changed everything between them. Their meeting marks a pivotal moment, heightened by the reappearance of an elusive hare. As past and present intertwine, the play delves into the intimate lives of its characters, tracing their shared history and unspoken wounds.

Fregoli Theatre in association with The Mick Lally Theatre and Roscommon Arts Centre presents Hill of the Hares - a lyrical and haunting exploration of love, loss, and the enduring pull of home from Roscommon native Maria Tivnan. Rooted in the Irish landscape, this evocative new play asks audiences to listen to the earth, reflecting on where we come from, and what may call us back.
