MNÁ returns @ThePearseDublin
We couldn’t let Dublin audiences miss out could we ?
MNÁ took the Pearse centre by storm on Sunday the 6th of September 2026, where they showed audiences exactly why the show gained such a good response at the Edinburgh Fringe festival.
The play very much resonated with our Dublin Audiences. They were impressed by our honest raw perspective on such a current aspect of life as a 30 something year old, living in Ireland where many people leave for a few years and have returned not having all the answers they thought they might have had at this point in time.
The Suaimhneas theatre company knew this was an important period of their lives to document and create something around , as sometimes the most beautiful and interesting moments can be taken from the most chaotic and uncomfortable.
