Photo Coverage: Irish Repertory Theatre Celebrates Opening Night of QUIETLY

Irish Repertory Theatre, in association with The Public Theater, presents the US premiere of theAbbey Theatre's production of QUIETLY. Written by Owen McCafferty and directed by Jimmy Fay, previews began July 20, at Irish Rep Theatre (132 West 22nd Street) with opening night last night, July 28, 2016. QUIETLY plays a limited engagement through September 11, 2016.

Belfast is a place where things need to be said. Following the 1999 Easter Peace Accord,guns were silenced but the chasm between the Republican and Unionist sides remains wide and bitter. Tonight, in a small back-street bar, Jimmy and Ian will meet for the first time. Forty years before a violent incident irrevocably changed the lives of both men and now they need to talk. QUIETLY is a powerful play about violence and forgiveness, about the limits of healing, the lottery of bearing witness, and the profit of truth. After enjoying huge international success, theAbbey Theatre brings this important new work to Irish Rep.

QUIETLY stars original cast members Declan Conlon (An Enemy of the People, "The Tudors"), Patrick O'Kane (War Horse), and Robert Zawadzki (Dziady).

QUIETLY features scenic design by Alyson Cummins (The Lime Tree Bower), costume design by Catherine Fay (Our Few and Evil Days), lighting design by Sinéad McKenna (Howie the Rookie), sound design by Philip Stewart (An Enemy of the People), and fight direction by Donal O'Farrell ("The Fall").

Tickets to QUIETLY are priced at $70.00 and are on sale now through Irish Rep's box office by calling 212-727-2737, or online at www.irishrep.org.
