Great to see the results of deirdre kinahan's residency at StaatstheaterMZ last Friday! This unique Zeitgeist Irland 24 performance, exploring the story of Irish Palatines, featured actors from both Fishamble: The New Play Company and the Staatstheater. Hope to see this project develop even further!

Irish writers, Seamus #Heaney and Samuel #Beckett , the latter of which was a frequent visitor to Kassel between 1928 and 1932, were both born on 13 April in 1939 and 1906 respectively.

It was a pleasure as always to visit Landau and to attend Cyclone Rep's Hamlet:CyberMadness last night. We really enjoyed how the company managed to navigate contemporary issues using Shakespeare’s original text!

Great to see that the actors for deirdre kinahan's upcoming production, Off to New Shores, have arrived in #Mainz ! Find out more about this upcoming Zeitgeist Irland 24 event at StaatstheaterMZ here: zeitgeistirland24.com/event/off-to-n…
