Readers have the chance to win a fantastic night out in Dublin city with a trip to the Abbey Theatre to see Marina Carr’s acclaimed ‘Girl on an Altar’, plus a delicious pre-show dinner and a bottle of house wine in Trocadero restaurant.
The critically acclaimed Girl on an Altar, which runs at the Abbey Theatre until August 19th, has been described as “little short of a masterpiece” (Sunday Independent) and “a must-see” (The Irish Post), with four-star reviews across the board.
In this dramatically powerful portrait of a marriage ripped apart, writer Marina Carr weaves an intimate portrait of a once unbreakable couple who can’t bring themselves to forgive the past, but can’t live without each other.
Eileen Walsh stars in this thrilling new Abbey Theatre production about a royal couple bound together by love, desire, hate and resentment. They find themselves and their families caught in the consequences of a terrible act of sacrifice, and the inability of the heart to forgive.
Co-produced with London’s Kiln Theatre, and directed by Annabelle Comyn, Girl on an Altar runs at the Abbey Theatre until 19th August 2023.
Trocadero restaurant is Dublin’s theatre restaurant, attracting stars of the stage and screen for over 65 years. Diners from Dublin and beyond are brought back to St. Andrew Street time and again by excellent food and a wonderful atmosphere.
With a cooking style that is simple and meticulous, visitors are treated to wonderful fish dishes, excellent steak, lamb, and enticing desserts. Irish suppliers are encouraged and locally sourced food is favoured.
