About this event

Presented as part of Gradfest 2025, a collaboration of productions at The Lir Academy at Trinity College Dublin. These plays are a culmination of an intensive year of hands-on training by our MFA students in directing, producing, and set design.

On a farm in the middle of nowhere, sisters Becky and Anna try to hold their family together after the death of their mother. Time is always moving somewhere – but here it’s very quiet. When they discover a stranger wandering across their land, the three establish an unlikely partnership in their determination to survive.

Gundog is a rare rural play; an astringent picture of poverty and demographic change that explores the struggle to survive and the depths of loss with brutality, tenderness, and a poetic sense of time.

This is an amateur production, presented by arrangement Blue Posts Management Limited.
