Photo Coverage: DruidSynge Party for Druid Theatre Company

In celebration of the John Millington Synge festival DruidSynge, a party was thrown at the Irish Consulate for the Druid Theatre Company. In attendance was Tim O'Connor, the Consul General of Ireland, as well as Angela's Ashes author Frank McCourt.

Through July 23rd, Tony Award-winner Garry Hynes (The Beauty Queen of Leenane) directs DruidSynge which is comprised of six Synge's plays--Riders to the Sea, The Playboy of the Western World, Deirdre of the Sorrows, The Shadow of the Glen, The Well of the Saints and The Tinker's Wedding. DruidSynge, which began on July 10th, runs through July 23rd as part of Lincoln Center Festival.

Hynes is the Artistic Director of Druid Theatre Company. "Founded in 1975, Druid was the first professional theatre company in Ireland outside Dublin and is universally recognized as one of the pioneers of the modern cultural development of Ireland in the last three decades. From its Galway home, it has been to the fore in the development of Irish theatre, performing in its home in Chapel Lane, elsewhere in Galway, Ireland and beyond."
