Presented by The Lir Academy, Directed by Lynne Parker
Dublin-born Dion Boucicault was one of the 19th-century’s most prolific and audacious playwrights, whose life was as sensational as his work.
As he stands at the gates of death, he is forced to justify an existence defined by spectacular success, scandalous failures and relentless reinvention.
Stewart Parker’s exuberant comedy Heavenly Bodies weaves a narrative as vibrant and volatile as Boucicault himself. Exploring the thin line between art and artifice, it reveals the complexities of depicting Irish identity and one man’s soul-deep hunger for applause.
