Autumn Royal Information

This show has closed.

Autumn Royal will open Irish Repertory Theatre's fall 2021 season. Autumn Royal tickets are available on New York Theatre Guide now.

Autumn Royal is a play set in a small, sparse house in Cork, Ireland, where 30somethings May and Timothy grew up. They have put their lives on hold to care for their father, who has been sick for a long time. Now they're wondering whether it's time to put him in a nursing home and get back out into the world, but they're wracked with painful memories of their family and neighborhood they can't shake. It's not so easy to let go — in fact, their bedridden father gets farther away than they do.

The dark comedy made its world premiere in 2017 at The Everyman in, aptly, Cork and played a second engagement there a year later. Now, Autumn Royal makes its North American premiere as the first show to play the Francis J. Greenburger Mainstage of Irish Rep since the pandemic. Playwright Kevin Barry is best known for his career as a novelist, with his works including Beatlebone and City Of Bohane. Autumn Royal is his first original stage play.
