Abbey Theatre - Amharclann na Mainistreach

Catherine couldn’t wait to leave home. But when the time comes for home to leave Catherine…. it’s a different story.

When her parents’ house goes up for sale, Catherine revisits her relationship with it, and with the rest of her family.

Empty rooms fill with memories and long buried emotions re-surface in The Passing, Paul Mercier’s tender and reflective new play.

The Passing is a companion piece to The East Pier, Paul Mercier’s poignant new play about a couple re-united after twenty five years.

Why not see both plays in our special Saturday double bills? You can see one play at a matinee performance at 2pm and one in the evening at 7.30pm on the same day.
Special ticket offer of €40 – €55 or €26 – €36 concession.
Double bill dates are on Saturday 26 March, 2 April, 9 April and 16 April.
