A gif slideshow of photos from rehearsals

Not long to go now ... we're coming to the end of rehearsals for Tom Murphy's The House.

It's almost time to leave the rehearsal room and head to the Town Hall Theatre to begin onstage technical rehearsals ahead of our first preview this weekend.

We're delighted to say that our run in Galway has already sold out – it's so exciting to know that more than 3,000 of you are waiting to come see us!

If you missed out on tickets for Galway, fear not as right after our hometown run we transfer the show to the Gaiety Theatre for Dublin Theatre Festival.

From all the Druids

The House by Tom Murphy

It’s summer in 1950s Ireland and Mrs de Burca can sense the beginning of an end. With her health failing and her three daughters making their own way in the world, it’s time to sell the family home.

Down the town, a generation of young men have returned from the building sites of England to haunt the streets for a few weeks. Among them is Christy Cavanagh, a man with cash in his pockets, fond memories of a childhood spent with the De Burca family, and a plan to buy their house.

In Tom Murphy’s classic play, the hopes and dreams of Christy and the De Burca family entwine as they battle with their pasts and fight for their futures, in a tense drama of desire, belonging and possession.
