“I am thrilled to present my first programme at this year. As an island nation on the edge of Europe, that punches above our weight with our global contribution to culture, Dublin Theatre Festival is a really important moment in the calendar for Irish audiences to see the outside world on our stages, and we have some really fantastic international shows in the programme this year that are not to be missed. With a world in turmoil, the shared experience of witnessing stories from artists from all corners, as well as excellent home-grown theatre, has never felt more important.” Artistic Director

The 2025 edition of Dublin Theatre Festival is set to light up Dublin stages from September 25th to October 12th featuring a cracking programme that offers an eclectic and global survey of the artform, from classical repertoire to work that pushes the boundaries of what theatre can be, and everything in between. We can’t wait!! 🎭🎭

“I think the North Circular Road bears the marks of its history; the marks of power, of privilege, and pain and poverty, and unravelling of lives.”

“I would say that my process has definitely changed over the years, but the one thing that hasn’t changed is that the films dictate the programme, and not the other way around.”
