Heaven
Presented by Fishamble: The New Play Company
Triple Fringe First and Olivier Award winning Fishamble present HEAVEN by Eugene O’Brien.
HEAVEN is set in the Irish midlands, during the weekend of a local wedding.
Mairead and Mal are struggling to keep their marriage together. Perhaps attending a wedding will help, or it might raise questions that are difficult to answer. This poignant, funny, beautiful, new play set over the weekend of a local wedding is full of humanity.
Directed by Jim Culleton (Irish Times Best Director Award winner 2019), HEAVEN features Andrew Bennett (Oscar-nominated THE QUIET GIRL) and Janet Moran (Irish Times Best Actress winner for HEAVEN). It was a hit at Dublin Theatre Festival 2022 and Off-Broadway in 2023.
Fishamble returns for a limited tour of its multi award-winning HEAVEN by Eugene O’Brien, following its hugely successful Off-Broadway, Edinburgh, and Off-West End runs.
