One ticket allows you to see one play. To see multiple plays, you need to book multiple tickets.

Four leading Irish writers present original, five minute plays, performed by one actor for one young audience member and their lucky guest.

Theatre for One is a very special, state-of-the-art performance space – and this Christmas, for the very first time, we are opening it up to younger audience members.

Conceived and created by the Olivier award-winning designer Christine Jones and designed by LOT-EK architects, one lucky young audience member at a time (accompanied by a grown-up – if they choose) will be able to enter the specially-designed booth, and experience the magic of a brand new play, performed just for them.

Two of the plays are written for children aged 4 – 7, and two for those aged 7 – 10.

Produced by Landmark Productions and Octopus Theatricals, in co-production with the Abbey Theatre, it features short plays for young audiences by four of Ireland’s leading writers – Roddy Doyle, Sonya Kelly, Louis Lovett and Pauline McLynn – and promises a unique theatrical thrill for audience members young and old.

Supported by Accenture and Dublin City Council.
