But if you prefer a play, you have two options this week:
Druid Murphy: Conversations on a Homecoming (Wednesday, Thursday and saturday) and A whistle in the Dark (tuesday, friday and saturday)
Both plays by Tom Murphy (link to Wikipedia, just in case the name doesn’t ring a bell), A whistle in the Dark tells the story of a family of Irish immigrants in Coventry.
Conversations on a Homecoming is set entirely in a pub where the characters drink when Michael returns from America and as everyone gets progressively drunker truths are told and souls are bared.
Tickets from 22 euros but there’s also an offer of a combination ticket to see both plays during the week. Check the time and price here
