NYU Skirball, in Partnership with The Public Theater, will present DruidO’Casey, a North American premiere by Ireland’s Druid Theatre, directed by Tony Award-winner Garry Hynes, running October 4 – 14 at NYU Skirball. The internationally acclaimed Druid Theatre will mount Sean O’Casey’s “Dublin Trilogy” – three seminal Irish plays: The Plough and the Stars; The Shadow of a Gunman; and Juno and the Paycock. There will be three six-hour, full cycle performances of the plays featuring dinner specials at partner restaurants, snacks and specialty drinks that will be available all day. The run will also include a limited number of single-play performances.
The Druid Theatre will weave O’Casey’s three plays into an epic theatrical event of conflict, national identity and the human toll of war: DruidO’Casey. A large cast of 18 actors will perform over 40 roles, in the most ambitious production in Druid’s history.
Tickets go on sale to NYU Skirball members June 8; tickets go on sale to the general public on July 11. Tickets can be purchased online, by visiting the box office in person, Tuesday – Saturday from 12:00 pm – 6:00 pm, or by calling 212.998.4941.
