The award-winning Druid Theatre Company makes a much-anticipated return with Séan O’Casey’s acclaimed The Shadow of a Gunman at Backstage Theatre this week.
Set against the backdrop of the Irish War of Independence, this tragicomic tale of an ambitious young woman who dreams of a life beyond her squalid tenement has been wowing audiences since it was first produced in 2023 as part of DruidO’Casey’s record-breaking Dublin Trilogy cycle.
Directed by Garry Hynes, The Shadow of a Gunman features Druid Ensemble members Rory Nolan and Marty Rea alongside Gabriel Adewusi, Clare Barrett, Caitríona Ennis, Bosco Hogan, Sean Kearns, Robbie O’Connor and Catherine Walsh.
DruidO’Casey broke box office records when it was announced in early 2023 and sold out weeks in advance, so early booking is strongly recommended for this national tour of The Shadow of a Gunman.
The Shadow of a Gunman will be on the Backstage Theatre stage on March 1st and March 2nd as part of its National Tour Spring 2024.
