Following its sold-out run and 5-star reviews at Galway International Arts Festival, Reunion transfers to the Gaiety Theatre for one week only as part of Dublin Theatre Festival from 8-13 October.

A family gathers for a celebration on an island off the west coast of Ireland.

When an unexpected visitor drops by, tensions begin to surface. Over the next 24 hours, scores will be settled, beliefs challenged, and truths disclosed, ultimately jeopardising their very future together.

Mark O’Rowe turns his laser focus on the deep currents of family life with a masterfully orchestrated story which resonates with biting humour, profound insights and extraordinary authenticity.

Reunion is that most exciting of things: a major new ensemble play. It stars a roll-call of Ireland’s finest actors: Ian-Lloyd Anderson, Cathy Belton, Venetia Bowe, Stephen Brennan, Leonard Buckley, Simone Collins, Desmond Eastwood, Valene Kane, Robert Sheehan and Catherine Walker.

Landmark Productions and Galway International Arts Festival are thrilled to present the world premiere of this breathtaking new play.
