Commissioned by the Abbey Theatre, This Beautiful Village went on to win Best New Play at the 2019 Irish Times Theatre Awards. This production was developed in collaboration with Emma Jordan.
In 2020 the play was adapted and updated to reflect the global lockdown due to COVID-19. This Beautiful Virtual Village was available to view online for one month on the Abbey Theatre’s website (August - September 2020).
On a quiet street in leafy, suburban Dublin, local residents meet about a piece of graffiti. Who did it? What does it mean? And what’s to be done about it? They have wine and a quorum. Nothing can go wrong. Exposing every side of what it means to co-exist in Ireland today, six people will confront their pride, prejudice and privilege. It won’t be pretty. But it could be beautiful.
