A Ghost in the Throat

Book Now

Page Anchor

Directed by James Riordan

Based on the novel by Doireann Ní Ghríofa

This urgent adaptation of one of Ireland’s most stunning recent literary debuts, the award-winning A Ghost in the Throat, crosses centuries as it tells the story of one woman finding her voice by reaching into the past and summoning another's. An Irish noblewoman in the 1700s and a young mother in the present day, both touched by and adjacent to tragedy, make unexpected contact as parallels between their lives emerge.  

This is a chance to see a new work-in-progress show from one of the most exciting writers from across the UK and Ireland, as part of our Shed Originals script development programme in partnership with Abbey Theatre.
