Tony Award-winning Druid presents DruidMurphy – a major retrospective of the work of Tom Murphy, one of Ireland’s most respected living dramatists.
Part of the London 2012 Festival – the finale of the Cultural Olympiad – DruidMurphy is an epic tale of Irish emigration spanning 1846 – 1980. Told over three plays, experienced over three evenings or in an entire cycle on one day, DruidMurphy promises to be one of the theatrical events of 2012. Crossing oceans and spanning decades this sweeping trilogy, with a company of 17 actors, is directed by Garry Hynes, described by the New York Times as “probably the foremost interpreter of Irish drama in the world today”.
