The Plough and the Stars at the Abbey Theatre – Reviews

Both The Guardian and The Stage have reacted very positively to Sean Holmes‘ production of The Plough and the Stars at the Abbey Theatre. Tickets are already hard to come by for the performances at the Abbey and these reviews may well increase demand.

Reviews

[T]his production succeeds in being very moving, while asking insistent questions about social justice that often get lost in the fray.

Helen Meany, The Guardian

In a bold update for Dublin’s Abbey Theatre, director Sean Holmes makes the best work of O’Casey’s Plough in years.

Chris McCormack, The Stage

[D]irector Sean Holmes has, for want of a better expression, absolutely nailed this.

James Dunne, Pure M Magazine
