IT’S IN THE PLAY is an official selection of the Origin Theatre’s first Irish Festival.
A solo show in the tradition of Irish storytelling revolving around the promise to a dear departed sister.
Produced & performed by Orlagh Cassidy; written by Orlagh Cassidy & Kate Lardner; Production design by Anita Sibony de Adelsberg; Directed by Kira Simring. The project has been incubating at Nancy Manocherian’s, the cell theatre under the direction of the cell’s artistic director Kira Simring.
In the rich tradition of Irish storytelling, It’s In The Play is a brave and intimate reconstruction of the puzzle of a fractured family’s story. Exploring memory, loss, and love and revolving around the promise of a sister, It’s In The Play is both heartbreaking and humorous as it captures the words, sound and spirit of this knotty Irish story.
It’s In The Play ran at Nancy Manocherian’s The Cell Theatre in NYC in January of 2023. Read more about the festival, show, and run in Broadway World.
