Playhouse Creatures

The year is 1669 and for the first time in English history, women are allowed to tread the boards. April De Angelis' Playhouse Creatures is a gritty, funny, and ultimately moving backstage look at the lives of five pioneering actresses. As they fight for fame, fortune, and a scrap of autonomy in a male-dominated theatre, these women discover that while the applause is intoxicating, the cost of staying in the spotlight is higher than they ever imagined.

Please note, this production features senstive themes. For more detailed information, please contact boxoffice@thelir.ie.

Run time is 2 hours.

This amateur production of Playhouse Creatures is presented by arrangement with
Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French Ltd. www.concordtheatricals.co.uk
