Casting is set for the Irish Repertory Theatre's The Pigeon in the Taj Mahal, running November 16-December 31 in the W. Scott McLucas Studio Theatre.

Directed by Alan Cox, the work will star playwright Laoisa Sexton, John Keating, Johnny Hopkins, and Zoë Watkins.

The play is described as follows: "In the West of Ireland, a lonely outsider is forced to live on an abandoned campsite on the barren outskirts of a seaside town. But late one night, when a lost bachelorette party discover his caravan, he finds his whole existence challenged and his home life threatened. During this long night of reckoning, amongst the glitter and the grime, a battle for survival ensues, but in these few hours can tender love save us all? Worlds collide in this darkly funny pressure cooker of a play about how we live now."

The production features scenic design by Charlie Corcoran, lighting design by Michael O’Connor, costume design by Martha Hally, sound design and original music by Ryan Rumery, and props by Sven Nelson.
