Donnacha Dennehy and Enda Walsh: The First Child @ Dublin Theatre Festival 2021
It all began with the child.
Following the sensational success of their first two operas, The Last Hotel and The Second Violinist, Donnacha Dennehy and Enda Walsh join forces once again on the final instalment in their explosive trilogy of suburban horror.
The production brings together a world-class creative team with a cast of five singers, an actor, a dancer, a small children’s choir and Crash Ensemble, to imagine a terrifying story of lost innocence—a baby on a beach—and the sea.
For ages 16+. Contains loud noises, strobe lighting, abuse, violence,
self-harm, death.
