Testament

by Colm TóibínDublin Theatre Festival and Landmark Productions present

A Dublin Theatre Festival commission with the support of Irish Theatre Trust.

Who do you say that I am?

Out of the mystery which involved silence and the slow spreading of news, one figure remains both iconic and deeply human.

In a thrilling imaginative leap, one of Ireland’s greatest writers has given voice to a woman who was forced to bear an unimaginable burden in tumultuous times.

Colm Tóibín’s searingly honest, provocative play asks big questions about what we believe, who we believe, and why. Directed by the internationally-renowned Irish theatre director Garry Hynes, and starring Marie Mullen, this is a play about extraordinary events that continue to shape our world to this day.

World Premiere.
