Arts Week with Judy Murphy

A range of arts organisations, including Bealtaine, the Polish Arts Festival, Brú Theatre and the Town Hall Theatre, will join forces from Thursday, April 28, to Saturday, May 6, to present work at the 14th annual Galway Theatre Festival.

The diverse productions will include drama, children’s theatre, comedy and workshops.

At the launch of the 2023 Festival in Druid’s Mick Lally Theatre on Tuesday evening, its Creative Director Aoife Noone said the event “offers something for everyone”, with audience being encouraged to “take a chance on something new and unexpected”.

She called on people to “explore new perspectives, challenge assumptions, and broaden our understanding of the world” via the festival, which, post-Covid, is celebrating “hope, resilience and the arts”.

Productions will include Conversations After Sex by THISISPOPBABY, winner of the Best New Play award at the 2021 Irish Theatre Awards; The Patient Gloria by Pan Pan, winner of the Scotsman Fringe First Award and Herald Angel Award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival; and The Examination by Brokentalkers, an award-winning production that explores mental health and human rights in the prison system.
