Druid

Three Short Comedies by Seán O’Casey

Directed by Garry Hynes


"Saint Correlliolanus, come on, and deliver us from utther desthruction!"

In spring 2025, Druid are hitting the road once more for an 11-venue national tour of Three Short Comedies by Seán O'Casey. Following a sold-out run in 2021, Druid return to Pavilion Theatre with these classic rip-roaring one-act plays by one of Ireland’s greatest playwrights. 

These short tales of misadventure will be directed by Garry Hynes and performed by Druid ensemble members Marie Mullen, Rory Nolan and Marty Rea, alongside Venetia Bowe, Caitríona Ennis and Liam Heslin.

Set in a post office, A Pound on Demand (1939) is the tale of Jerry and Sammy who badly need a quick injection of cash to continue their night on the town.

In Bedtime Story (1951), poor John Jo Mulligan learns the hard way that inviting members of the opposite sex to Miss Mossie's lodging house comes with serious consequences.

All hell breaks loose in The End of the Beginning (1937) when Darry Berrill and his wife Lizzie agree to swap their household roles - and that's before Darry's clumsy friend Barry arrives.

Since 1975, Druid have been criss-crossing the country to bring world-class theatre to audiences in their own communities. This new national tour marks the beginning of their 50th anniversary programme in 2025.
