Full Description
1710, Rathkeale, County Limerick. A community flees persecution in Germany and is offered land in Ireland that should never have been given.
Refuge traces their journey and explores the enduring connections between displaced communities of the past and those seeking safety today. Deirdre Kinahan's thrilling new play weaves past, present and future: music and magic. Stories of longing, love and loss tear at the human need to find place, a home, a refuge.
It is premiered by Fishamble: The New Play Company and Staatstheater Mainz in 2026.
