Only one more day until #PurpleSnowflakesAndTittyWanks takes to our stage 💜 Written and performed by Irish playwright Sarah Hanly, we can't wait to welcome her to the Abbey Theatre for Dublin Theatre Festival #DTF21 📸 Ali Wright

We stand in solidarity with our colleagues across the sector. The announcement of a 50% capacity restriction for indoor events has huge consequences. We support @Campaign4Arts in their call for additional resources for those affected. ‘Ar scáth a chéile a mhaireann na daoine’

The window had collapsed outside the old Plough Pub opposite Abbey Theatre this morning, a weird and eerie view inside the pub with the bar intact and the rest slowly crumbling around it Dublin City Council

How on earth will it be feasible for Theatres to close at 5pm? Is it just so box offices can stay open to cancel everyone’s tickets? This is another potential blow to the sector without any due consideration to all the artists, freelancers and staff it will impact

Two excellent appointments for the sector today, that I am equally delighted about Liz Kelly taking over as Director of Poetry Ireland / Éigse Éireann from Niamh O'Donnell who is making the move to @IrishTheatreIns as Director taking over from the amazing Jane Daly and Siobhán Bourke

So great to be in London for the opening of Purple Snow Flakes and Titty Wanks by Sarah Hanky a co-production between Abbey Theatre and Royal Court with huge thanks to Culture_Ireland for their support
