Irish Rep’s Molly Sweeney Extends Until April 10; Simone Kirby to Join Jonathan Hogan and Ciaran O’Reilly on March 9

The Irish Repertory Theatre‘s acclaimed revival of Brian Friel’s Molly Sweeney will now run until April 10 instead of March 13, according to The New York Times. Charlotte Moore directs the production.

The play centers on a woman, who, having been blind since she was an infant, has her eyesight restored.

The company currently features Jonathan Hogan, Geraldine Hughes, and Ciarán O’Reilly. Simone Kirby will join the cast on March 9, replacing Hughes, who will appear in the Broadway production of Jerusalem.

The creative team will include Jim Morgan (scenic design), Linda Fisher (costume design), Richard Pilbrow and Michael Gottlieb (lighting design), and Zach Williamson (sound design).
