Details

An unforgettable black comedy from one of Ireland’s most beloved writers (author of Night Boat to Tangier and City of Bohane).

We were the last two bucks of the McRaes left standin’ . . . And the McRae name had gone back for a long time around these hills . . . Oh, for decades and centuries unending, the rain that fell on these hills fell only to spite the McRaes . . .

High in the mountains of south County Sligo, the McRae brothers are sleeping rough. Stuck in a dead zone and running out of road, Archie and Bopper have only each other to rely on as they try to restart their van, their lives and their Wi-Fi connection. And then there’s the local police sergeant who is becoming more and more interested in their lives . . .

The Cave was first produced at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, in June 2025.
