5 Reasons to See Maloney’s Dream
Easter Monday, 1916
To mark the centenary celebrations of the 1916 Rising, Maloney’s Dream is a family-friendly action-packed, bi-lingual show full of live music, physical theatre and puppetry. Suitable for all audiences aged 8 and upwards, this is a captivating story of how one man’s dream collided with the birth of a nation. Thaddeus Maloney returns home to Ireland to realise his dream of opening a new hotel on Easter Monday 1916 on Sackville Street (now O’Connell Street). However, the events of that week impact his plans. Using diary entries and recorded personal accounts, the show explores the impact the Rising had on the lives of ordinary people and introduces audiences to the history that shaped our country. Branar is one of one of the country’s leading lights in children’s theatre. If you do one thing to commemorate 1916, see this lively and imaginative blend of physical theatre, storytelling, music and puppetry.
Audiences can also connect with the show long before they come to the theatre through Branar’s interactive website featuring videos, images and resources. It brings this period in our history to life and provides a snapshot of the life of a child in 1916.
