Five nights. Four countries. One international celebration of theatre, music and the enduring legacy of Eugene O’Neill.

The full line-up for the 2026 Eugene O’Neill International Festival of Theatre has arrived!

From 14–18 October, New Ross will welcome artists from Ireland, the United States, Georgia and Spain for a remarkable week of storytelling and cultural exchange.

Wednesday, 14 October - The Unkillable Irishman
An exciting, funny and heartfelt new play by Wexford playwright Jack Matthews, based on the unbelievable true story of Donegal emigrant Mike Malloy, the man New York gangsters simply could not kill.

Thursday, 15 October - Long Day’s Journey Into Night
The acclaimed Tumanishvili Theatre Company from Tbilisi brings its powerful Georgian interpretation of O’Neill’s masterpiece to Ireland for the first time. Performed in Georgian with English subtitles.

Friday, 16 October - Lucia Joyce, a Small Drama in Motion
Karlik Danza Teatro from Spain presents the Irish premiere of this evocative production combining contemporary dance, theatre and audiovisual film to explore the life of Lucia Joyce.

Sunday, 18 October - Ah, Wilderness!

They tried to poison him, freeze him, shoot him and run him over. But every morning, Mike Malloy walked back into the pub.
It sounds like fiction, but The Unkillable Irishman is based on an extraordinary true story from Prohibition-era New York.

When a group of gangsters targets Donegal emigrant Mike Malloy as part of a life-insurance scheme, they expect him to be an easy victim. There is just one problem: Mike refuses to die.
As their attempts become increasingly desperate—and increasingly absurd—the gang begins losing money, patience and control.

Dangerous, darkly funny and full of heart, this fast-moving comedic thriller opens the 2026 Eugene O’Neill International Festival of Theatre.

When: Wednesday, 14 October 2026
Where: St Michael’s Theatre, New Ross
Discover the unbelievable story of the man they couldn’t kill.
