Abbey Theatre - Amharclann na Mainistreach

A celebration of music and words for the benefit of the Irish Penal Reform Trust, ‘The Old Triangle’ seeks to raise awareness of the need for penal reform and the place of prison and prisoners in society. Many of the artists taking part in this celebration have worked in prisons, and we are mindful of the important role the arts and artists have to play in the life of our prisons.

The featured musicians and writers, all of whom are waiving fees for the night, are:

Christy Moore – Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill – Peter Sheridan – Karan Casey & Niall Vallely – Tony Curtis – Shaz Oye – Noel Shine & Mary Greene – Leanne O’Sullivan – Jimmy Kelly and friends – Artist Eddie Cahill, introduced by Brian Maguire

The event is hosted by Paula Meehan and Theo Dorgan.

‘We are all aware that there is a huge debate going on in Ireland right now about what kind of civil society we should be striving for. Artists are as much part of the debate as anyone, and conscious of the need to make this debate as inclusive and wide-ranging as possible.’ – Paula Meehan, Patron of IPRT

IPRT is very grateful for the financial support from Poetry Ireland in this event.
