Drainage Scheme

Co- Presented by the Abbey Theatre and Dublin Fringe Festival

Set in the 18th century, this is a rural drama that incorporates experimental music and performance techniques. It is the result of five years of research into a time of radical change, that saw Cork City balloon and rural Munster contract into a cow based mono-economy.

Focusing on a family living on the edges and struggling to survive, this play explores apathy, uncertainty and perseverance and how the ways life felt then, still feels now.

There are 2 ways to get tickets online fro Drainage Scheme. Through Dublin Fringe and through The Abbey Theatre. If one is showing Sold Out please check the other site as the allocations are split between the two locations.
