Autumn 2024
The House
Gaiety Theatre (September 26th - October 6th)
Experience the tension and drama of 1950s Ireland in Tom Murphy’s acclaimed play, where the fading De Burca family faces an uncertain future as Christy Cavanagh, a returning emigrant, plans to buy their home. Directed by Garry Hynes and featuring a standout cast, including Druid Ensemble’s Marie Mullen and Marty Rea, this production is a must-see. Presented as part of the Dublin Theatre Festival 2024, this powerful drama of desire, belonging, and the past promises to be a festival highlight.
The Philip Glass Ensemble & National Symphony Orchestra
National Concert Hall (Friday 11 Oct 2024)
Experience the Irish premiere of Philip Glass’s powerful orchestral score from the 2002 film Naqoyqatsi (‘life as war’). Performed by the Philip Glass Ensemble, the National Symphony Orchestra, and conducted by Michael Riesman, this emotive piece serves as both a romantic tribute to humanity and a stark warning about environmental threats. The prominent cello, performed by Kate Ellis, symbolizes hope amid turmoil.

Mildred Anne Butler: At Home in Nature
National Gallery of Ireland (14th September - 5th January)

Curated by Niamh MacNally, this exhibition offers a glimpse into Butler’s remarkable career and her significant contributions to Irish art. Don’t miss this celebration of an artist who masterfully combined natural beauty with artistic precision.
