Irish Repertory Theatre presents Autumn Royal on the Francis J. Greenburg Mainstage
A North American Premiere
By Kevin Barry
Starring Maeve Higgins and John Keating
Directed by Ciarán O’Reilly
May and Timothy are looking after the father who has long since taken ill to bed. Their own lives are on hold and they’re not getting any younger. Should they stay and help? Or is it time for them to move on?
This dark comedy set on the northside of Cork city is about life and death, love and hate, jealousy, rage, horror, and homicidal notions – just a normal play about a family.
Kevin Barry is the multi-award-winning writer of the novels Beatlebone and City Of Bohane, and the story collections Dark Lies The Island, and There Are Little Kingdoms. Autumn Royal is his first piece written originally for stage and was acclaimed by critics and the public alike during its world premiere run at The Everyman, Cork in 2017.
Following the successful run of its world premiere in 2017, Autumn Royal by Kevin Barry returned to The Everyman, Cork in 2018 before touring throughout Ireland. Irish Repertory Theatre is delighted to reopen the Francis J. Greenburger Mainstage with this North American premiere.
