Over a decade, Fishamble commissioned and called for submissions of tiny plays that reflected major changes in Irish society from 2011-2021. Inviting playwrights to submit plays of less than 600 words, the company produced 50 tiny plays in Tiny Plays for Ireland, 10 tiny plays in Tiny Plays 24/7, and 10 tiny plays in partnership with ESB in Tiny Plays for a Brighter Future.
These productions of tiny plays created a patchwork quilt of theatre to reflect the times through which we were living. They were performed in Project Arts Centre Dublin, Irish Arts Center New York, and Kennedy Center Washington DC, as well as shared online. This anthology publishes all 70 tiny plays, providing an invaluable resource of four-minute plays for actors, directors, students, and teachers.

— THE IRISH TIMES
‘A theatrical mosaic ... offering fascinating perspectives’
— THE GUARDIAN
‘Extraordinary achievement... it’s what theatre should be about.’

‘Brilliantly crafted… small really can be beautiful’
