Dublin by Lamplight by Michael West

Drexel University’s Mandell Professionals in Residence Project (MPiRP) and Inis Nua Theatre Company present Dublin by Lamplight by Michael West, from November 9-20th, at Drexel’s Mandell Theater (3201 Chestnut Street). Amidst the filth and fury of 1904 Dublin, the theatrical event of the century is about to explode. Fading stars, rebels, whores, and romantics irreverently expose this strange and lurid world as six actors play over forty roles in a fast-paced tale about the launch of the Irish National Theatre. Using commedia dell’arte stylings and Storytellers theatre, this glorious play was a breakout hit for Inis Nua in 2011. Tickets are on sale for $10-$35 by calling (215) 454-9776 or visiting inisnuatheatre.org. The Mandell Professionals in Residence Project (MPiRP) is supported in part by a grant from the Samuel P. Mandell Foundation.
