Meath County Council Arts Office is delighted to welcome Fishamble Theatre Company to Meath with the world premiere of OUTRAGE by award winning playwright Deirdre Kinahan.

Commissioned by Meath Arts Office & produced by Fishamble OUTRAGE is a theatrical hurricane of empathy, action and truth, live in Kells Courthouse from Thursday, March 17.

Following the story of two sisters, OUTRAGE is a play that explores the true nature of women’s role in the Irish revolutionary wars and in particular the Civil War in 1922.
Alice and Nell play key roles in organising civic resistance and the propaganda war. They are fervent, they are funny, they are human and they - like everyone else in Ireland - become deeply conflicted as the country spins toward a shattering Civil clash that split the nation, and continues to haunt Irish politics, society and culture to this day.
 
OUTRAGE, by Deirdre Kinahan, commissioned by Meath Arts Office, produced by Fishamble  and directed by Jim Culleton will premiere during St Patrick’s Festival in the Kells Courthouse and Pumphouse in Dublin Port. This production follows Fisamble’s other recent work during the Decade of Centenaries, Inside the GPO in 2016, Embargo in 2020 and The Treaty in 2021.
