The Abbey Theatre presents 'The Long Christmas Dinner' with sound design by CMC Emerging Composer 2022 Aoife Kavanagh
The Peacock Stage (The Abbey Theatre)
Nominated for Best Production, Best Director, Best Ensemble, Best Lighting and Best Supporting Actress at the 2022 Irish Times Irish Theatre Awards, The Long Christmas Dinner returns to the Peacock stage this Christmas. A gift-wrapped seasonal gem, in this meditation on togetherness and separation, birth and death, we visit successive generations of the Bayard family at their Christmas dinner table spanning a period of 90 years. This heart-warming family drama happens over a seamless 50 minutes.
Sound design by CMC Emerging Composer 2022 Aoife Kavanagh.
