Home from Home is a collaboration between the Sean O’ Casey Theatre, East Wall For All and the Abbey Theatre. This is a companion piece with Tom Murphy’s play ‘The House’ which is on at the Abbey at the moment.

After talking to a lot of senior citizens about emirgration, several short scenes was written by people living and working locally, and also by members of the Abbey Theatre. These scenes are directed and acted by some of the same people.

Going back in time a great link with the Abbey and the East Wall area was Sean O’ Casey whose plays The Shadow of a Gunman, Juno and the Paycock, and The Plough and the Stars were about people who lived in these areas, families who would have seen a lot of  members emigrate due to hard times.

The Sean O’ Casey Theatre will host “Home from Home” for two performances at 8pm on Wednesday 18th and Thursday 19th July.

Remembering that Sean O’Casey lived in East Wall and his first works were performed in the Abbey, we have a feeling that Sean O’ Casey would be proud that these new pieces have been written, performed and directed in the Theatre named after him.
