What’s been happening in 2009… New Writing
13 Nov 2009
2009 was a busy year, with the Literary Department taking on nine short and five full new play commissions. We also had the opportunity to enjoy the experience of several commissions coming to fruition.
Commissions presented on the Abbey and Peacock stages in 2009 were Marble by Marina Carr, Only an Apple by Tom Mac Intyre, The Last Days of a Reluctant Tyrant by Tom Murphy and Tales of Ballycumber by Sebastian Barry. We also welcome the return of two previously staged commissioned plays: Terminus by Mark O’Rowe and Ages of the Moon by Sam Shepard.
We currently have 24 plays under commission.
