Five-year project will stage each play in a setting relevant to its theme and in the season it was set
Plays by the acclaimed Irish dramatist Brian Friel, who has been referred to as an “Irish Chekhov”, have been performed in London, Dublin, on Broadway and elsewhere. Now an ambitious five-year project is bringing the works home to “the terroir, the communities and the landscapes” that inspired them, culminating in all 29 running across counties Donegal, Derry and Tyrone – places that Friel lived – during the centenary of his 1929 birth.
