BRIAN FRIEL (Playwright) (1929-2015) is widely recognized as one of the greatest contemporary dramatists of the English language. A prolific writer, who produced more than 30 plays in a career spanning six decades, his best-known works are: Philadelphia, Here I Come! (1964), The Freedom of the City (1973), Aristocrats (1979), Faith Healer (1979), Translations (1980), Dancing at Lughnasa (1990), Molly Sweeney (1993), Give Me Your Answer Do (1997), and The Home Place (2005). In these and other plays he showed a fascination with pushing the boundaries of theatrical possibility. Friel once wrote: “For me the true gift of theatre, the real benediction of all art, is the ringing bell which reverberates quietly and persistently in the head long after the curtain has come down and the audience has gone home.”


CHARLOTTE MOORE (Director) Recent directing assignments include: London Assurance, Love Noël, The Plough and the Stars, On a Clear Day You Can See Forever, Three Small Irish Masterpieces by William Butler Yeats, Lady Gregory and J.M. Synge. New York premiere of Brian Friel’s The Home Place, World premiere of Larry Kirwan’s Rebel in the Soul, Finian’s Rainbow, The Phyllis Newman Women’s Health Initiative gala, Truman Capote’s A Christmas Memory, and Juno and the Paycock and Dancing at Lughnasa. New York stage appearances include A Perfect Ganesh, Meet Me in St. Louis, The Perfect Party, Morning’s at Seven, Private Lives (with Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton), and many performances with the New York Shakespeare Festival. Ms. Moore has received two Tony Award nominations, the Outer Critics Circle Award, the Drama Desk Award, the Drama League Award, the Irish America Top 100 Irish Award, The Eugene O’Neill Lifetime Achievement Award, and the 2008 Irish Women Of The Year Award. She is the recipient of the St. Patrick’s Committee in Holyoke’s John F. Kennedy National Award, and has thrice been listed as one of the “Top 50 Power Women” in Irish America Magazine.

LETTER FROM THE DIRECTORS

CHARLOTTE MOORE, ARTISTIC DIRECTOR CIARÁN O’REILLY, PRODUCING DIRECTOR

Welcome back! While we wish we could welcome you each into the theatre in person, we were bowled over by the incredible outpouring of support we saw with the announcement of our fi rst ever Performance On Screen, and we can’t wait to share with you our new production of Brian Friel’s Molly Sweeney. Brian Friel has long been one of our favorites, and this play about psychological isolation is particularly

poignant in this moment.

We owe enormous gratitude to our Board and the many generous donors and members who have continued to believe in Irish Rep over the years. Thank you! You sustain us and have enabled us to continue to uplift Irish and Irish-American theatre during this unprecedented hiatus

in live performances.

At Irish Rep, nearly 60% of our annual revenue comes from ticket sales. With our doors closed and no ticket income, this period is particularly diffi cult for us. Thank you for supporting Irish Rep and helping us keep the home fi res burning. Your contribution ensures that we can continue to offer top-quality digital events, keep our staff employed, and be artistically and fi nancially ready to reopen as soon as it is safe to do so.

Thank you for supporting Irish Rep.
