ABOUT
Hello agus Fáilte. We are Brú Theatre, a theatre company based in Galway making work at the intersection between contemporary theatre forms and the languages, literatures and landscapes of where we are from. We use virtual reality, drag, physical theatre, new writing and mask merged with the traditions, superstitions and musicality in the work make, offering something new for audiences both in person and in digital spaces.
Brú Theatre’s core team are Artistic Director James Riordan and Producer Jill Murray. Since beginning in 2018, we have 7 productions to date and have toured nationally and internationally with our work. We’ve presented in some of the most prestigious festivals in Ireland and have Irish Times Theatre Award nominations for our work.
We’re committed to creating theatre and developing artists in the West of Ireland, making bilingual, multi-disciplinary work through a contemporary lens while running artist development programmes such as Remote Control and Brú School, programmes that are focused on supporting artists and art form development in the region.
Brú Theatre are kindly supported by the Arts Council, Galway City Council and Galway County Council.
