If you’re spending your time in Dublin this spring and haven’t planned any holidays, there’s no better way to pass the days than by discovering all that the city has to offer. From its rich history to its vibrant cultural scene, Dublin is a city that never fails to surprise. Among the many attractions, one experience stands out: a trip to the theatre. After all, the Irish have a long tradition of storytelling, and the stage is where that talent truly shines.
One of the most anticipated theatrical events this season is The Delirium Archive, a powerful new Irish drama set to debut at the Project Arts Centre from April 21. This production promises to be a thought-provoking experience, blending elements of science fiction with deep emotional storytelling.
Written by Shane Mac an Bhaird and produced by Rough Magic, The Delirium Archive makes its world premiere at the Project Arts Centre this April. The play features a stellar cast including Úna Kavanagh, Ronan Leahy, Megan McDonnell, David Rawle, and Ian Toner. The story follows a Mayo family living in lockdown within a toxic yellow fog, as they participate in a radical memory-preservation trial. This unique setting allows the audience to explore themes of technology, memory, and the human condition.
As the plot unfolds, a corporate agent arrives, challenging the family’s beliefs about technology, truth, and their own family dynamics. This narrative serves as a reflection on the modern age, where social media and digital advancements shape how we perceive reality. The Delirium Archive questions whether we can trust the stories we tell ourselves and the technologies that help us remember them.
The performances will run from Tuesday, April 21, until Saturday, May 9. With ticket prices starting at just €29, this is an opportunity not to be missed. Whether you’re a regular theatre-goer or simply looking for something new to do in Dublin, The Delirium Archive offers a compelling and immersive experience.
If you’re interested in more cultural events or want to explore other aspects of Dublin life, there are plenty of options to consider. From historical tours to local art exhibitions, the city has something for everyone.
