Embargo

Embargo a new play by renowned writer Deirdre Kinahan (Rathmines Road, Unmanageable Sisters, Spinning, Halcyon Days, Moment), is a story of three souls caught up in the violent winds of change… It recalls May 1920, during the War of Independence, when dockers and railwaymen refused to transport any armed troops, or to handle any weapons arriving from Britain. 

On the centenary of this act of civil resistance, Fishamble will stage a site-responsive production, in association with Iarnród Éireann and Dublin Port Company as part of Dublin Theatre Festival.

Embargo is a muddy, complicated, poetic, bloody, and heroic tale of a politically motivated industrial action, in which three characters deal with a pivotal moment during the Irish war of independence. These are our ghosts, their story is our story.

Tickets for the live-streamed performance are available from www.fishambleembargo.eventbrite.com

The recording of the live performance will then be available to watch for a limited time on the Fishamble website at www.fishamble.com/embargo and YouTube.
