Donaghy Theatre at the Irish Arts Center Presents FORGOTTEN

FORGOTTEN follows four characters, between the ages of 80-100 years old, who reside in retirement homes around Ireland. 1943 was a curious year for this quartet - their lives have never been the same since... This hauntingly dark yet startlingly hilarious play brings to life the heroic challenges, loves and dreams of these people living on the fringe of society.

Dublin's award-winning Fishamble: The New Play Company, returns to New York for this special limited engagement following their recent critically acclaimed Off Broadway production of Sebastian Barry's The Pride of Parnell Street.

This captivating production was called "One of the most unexpectedly witty and dramatically rewarding works of the theater you are likely to attend this year... Rarely less than electrifying!" by the Irish Voice. The Irish Times said it was "captivating, moving, and - yes - even unforgettable." And The Scotsman gave it 5 stars, calling it "an incredibly moving piece of theatre...immediate and compelling...unequivocally beautiful."

Previews begin on Wednesday, February 17 for a limited engagement through Sunday, March 7. The performance schedule is Wednesday - Saturday at 8:00 PM; and Sunday at 3:00 PM.
