CAILÍNÍ
Originally developed as a piece of theatre for the Samuel Beckett Theatre in Dublin, Cailíní transferred to the Lyric Theatre in Belfast to stellar reviews and a completely sold-out run. Co-written by Íde and Beth Strahan, Cailíní was produced by our production company ABLAZE Productions.
November 2023, Samuel Beckett Theatre.
May 2024, Lyric Theatre Belfast.
Praise for Cailíní:
“Written as a final year degree project at Trinity College Dublin, the partnership between Strahan and Simpson is a strong one that I hope we see more of in the future. Ultimately Cailíní is cool, dark and edgy – the type of performance that has you gripped from the outset and that you will be thinking about long after you leave the theatre.” — IRISH NEWS
"Echoes of Tolstoy, Sartre and Eugene O’Neill in Íde Simpson and Beth Strahan’s Cailíní—“a domestic drama that winds itself up into unbearable, unspeakable tension”—announced the arrival of two names and their company, Ablaze Productions, to watch."
