Inhouse Productions by An Grianán Theatre
An Grianán Productions is the producing wing of An Grianán Theatre.
An Grianán is distinctive amongst regional venues for its success as a theatre producer. Thirteen full-scale touring shows have been produced over the last seven years including works by Brian Friel, Cathal O Searcaigh and Paul Boyd. Creative partners to date have included Yew Tree Theatre Company, Cork Opera House, Pavilion Theatre, Civic Theatre and The Lyric, Belfast.
In 2005 An Grianán commissioned Donegal based writer and storyteller Joe Brennan to write The Witchin’ Well. To date the show has done two tours of Ireland (Summer 05 and Spring/Summer 06) and was invited to take part in the Romanian International Theatre Festival for Children in Oct 2006 where it was performed at the Ion Creanga Theatre in Bucharest.
In 2006 we commissioned another Donegal writer Little John Nee to write a new adaptation of Jack and the Beanstalk which enjoyed successful runs at An Grianán, and at the Civic Theatre, Tallaght over Christmas 06.
2007 was the 400th anniversary of the Flight of the Earls and to mark the occasion we produced two major dramas - Brian Friel's Making History (March /April 07) and Thomas Kilroy's The O'Neill (July 07).
2009
An Grianán celebrates its tenth anniversary this year and to mark the occasion we have undertaken two major inhouse productions. The first was Brian Friel's The Home Place, a co-production with Belfast's Lyric Theatre which was produced during Jan to March while we finish the year with a spectacular aerial version of The Snow Queen.
