Now in its 13th year, the Origin 1st Irish Theatre Festival — the world’s only festival devoted to producing and presenting the plays of contemporary Irish playwrights from around the world — is evolving into its new digital format.  What we loose in terms of physical immediacy, we make up in range and accessibility.  So join us from wherever you are… We look forward to seeing friends near and far!
