Abbey Theatre - Amharclann na Mainistreach

Celebrated playwright, poet and author of fiction Tom Mac Intyre has delighted audiences with his daring and original work for over forty years.

He is known as a writer who knows no fear, a shaman, a true adventurer, a cherished poet of our national theatre.

Tom Mac Intyre’s 2009 play, Only An Apple, was his sixteenth world premiere at the Abbey Theatre, an extraordinary record for any playwright. A glance at his production posters will colourfully illustrate what a trawl through the Abbey Archive tells us: that Tom Mac Intyre has a unique relationship with the Abbey Theatre. His first play, Eye Winker, Tom Tinker was produced in 1972. This premiere marked the beginning of a long engagement with Irish actors, directors and, indeed, loyal audiences which continues to this day.

Join us for a celebratory evening of excerpts from his work performed by special guests and a reading from the playwright himself.

Directed by Oonagh Murphy, Resident Assistant Director
