The Plough and the Stars returns following its huge success on the Abbey stage in 2010.

Set in a tenement house, against the backdrop of the Easter Rising in 1916, The Plough and the Stars is both an intimate play about the lives of ordinary people and an epic play about ideals and the birth of our nation.

Amidst the tumult of political upheaval, Jack and Nora Clitheroe are ‘like two turtle doves always billing and cooing’, much to the ridicule of their bustling neighbours. But when Ireland calls, Jack must choose between love for his wife and duty to his country.
Heartbreaking, disturbing and very funny, The Plough and The Stars is an historic play that every generation needs to see.

Wayne Jordan, Associate Director of the Abbey Theatre, brings the fresh perspective of a new generation to this iconic play.

‘Director Jordan knows how to make a classic feel invigorating again’ The Irish Times

‘an exciting clarity and freshness to the play’ Irish Theatre Magazine
