Your favourite actors and their favourite plays
Love at First Sight is a new gala play reading series at the Abbey Theatre.
The concept is simple – Artistic Director Caitríona McLaughlin invites an actor to select a script they love, and the role that they have always wanted to play in it. We then bring a group of actors together to realise that ambition in a live reading on the Abbey Stage for one performance only.
Placing the power in the hands of some of the world’s finest actors, they’re invited to follow their instincts and take on their favourite part for one performance only.
There is only one rule for the actors – no Hamlet! And we gave one strong piece of encouragement – be bold. We asked the actors to disregard the limitations of age, gender or usual playing type and select the role they have always wanted to play.
Join them at the Abbey Theatre for an experience to remember.
