Marina Carr and Caitríona McLaughlin discuss The Boy: A Two-Play Theatrical Event

15 November - 1 September 2025 On the Abbey Stage Written by Marina Carr and directed by Caitríona McLaughlin, The Boy: A Two-Play Theatrical Event brings a contemporary Irish lens to the pain and beauty of Sophocles’ Theban trilogy of Oedipus Rex, Oedipus at Colonus and Antigone. This is a major world premiere of two new plays, that can be enjoyed separately or experienced back-to-back for the full epic story on Ireland’s national stage. Play one is called The Boy and is inspired by Oedipus Rex. We meet Oedipus and his family at the height of their powers before things begin to unravel. Play two is called The God and His Daughter and is inspired by Oedipus at Colonus and Antigone, exploring the consequences that continue into the next generation. In this hotly-anticipated theatre experience, playing as part of Dublin Theatre Festival 2025, The Boy: A Two-Play Theatrical Event continues Carr’s vivid conversation with the foundations of modern drama.
