Four new short plays, written by four women playwrights (woo hoo) will premiere as part of the annual Origin’s 1st Irish Theatre Festival. Based on a single newspaper article about the crisis that detailed the scope of the epidemic, the writers were asked by the festival, to invent four different stories and to imagine them unfolding in a single apartment dwelling somewhere in America.  “Building Pain” will be performed six times in an apartment above Bloom’s Tavern 208 East 58th Street — Thurs, Fri and Sat January 25, 26, 27, each at 7pm and 9pm. Get tickets and info.

Since its founding in 2007, the Festival has imported both acclaimed productions from abroad and been a launch-pad for new homegrown projects developed collaboratively by artists from different cities, several of which have gone on to further success and acclaim.  In 2015 The NY Times called Origin’s 1st Irish “an important event that offers New York theatergoers the chance to see fascinating new work.”
