Irish Repertory Theatre announced today the cast and creative team for the New York Premiere of Belfast Girls by Jaki McCarrick (The Naturalists). Directed by Nicola Murphy (A Girl is a Half-formed Thing), Belfast Girls will run May 11-June 26, 2022, on the Francis J. Greenburger Mainstage, with an opening night set for May 19, 2022.
A story that peels back many different layers and aspects of masculinity, this play, written by Amy Conroy, offers a deep recognition of how our childhood experiences shape and form us. The world premiere took place at the Galway International Arts Festival in 2015, seven short years ago. In 2022, it is now being performed in a changed world, bringing broader understanding to one man's trans experience.
