The Risen People
To mark the centenary of the 1913 Dublin Lockout, the Abbey Theatre is delighted to announce a new stage version of The Risen People by James Plunkett for the Abbey stage in December. Central to this exciting new production of The Risen People is the creative collaboration between director Jimmy Fay, composer Conor Linehan and choreographer Colin Dunne of Riverdance fame. To capture the essence of James Plunkett’s play, these talented artists collaborate to create an invigorating production, full of music, song and movement in what promises to be an exuberant and memorable theatrical presentation.
The Risen People, which inspired James Plunkett’s masterpiece Strumpet City, was first produced by the Abbey Theatre in 1958.
