What's On
Fishamble: The New Play Company and Irish Repertory Theatre present
The Black Wolfe Tone
Written and performed by Kwaku Fortune
Directed by Nicola Murphy Dubey
The Black Wolfe Tone is a thrilling new play about identity, raging against the machine, and how young men deal or don’t deal, with the darkness. A fast-paced journey that interrogates our culture of silence, the mind, and growing up mixed race in Ireland. At its heart, it’s about a young boy seeking forgiveness. The inner child wanting only to be acknowledged, loved, and held.
Coming to the Irish Repertory Theatre, New York this May before returning to Ireland in June for performances at Project Arts Centre, Dublin, Mermaid Arts Centre, Bray and Cork Arts Theatre in association with The Everyman as part of Cork Midsummer Festival.

Who Am I and How Am I in Ireland? This ongoing project aims to celebrate the voices of ethnically diverse and marginalised young people in Ireland. It’s a creative arts and social justice partnership between Fishamble: The New Play Company and Larkin Community College in Dublin 1 where students come from 34 different ethnicities. Through theatre arts, visual arts, and restorative practice circles, the project seeks to deepen young people’s ability to connect with one another, explore their identities, and celebrate who they are in Ireland today. |
