DUBLIN NOIR by Honor Molloy - A Reading It's August 1939 – Europe’s boiling up to war. But Ireland’s having none of it. On a day trip to Drogheda, Dubliner Tadgh Steele is captured by a dairy farmer and locked in a cowshed. Is Tadgh a poet as he claims or a Nazi spy? Makes no difference to the farmer’s slop girl who falls head over heels for the handsome stranger and casts him as the hero of a “fil-um in her head.” Set in 1941 and 1939 – moving between Mountjoy Prison and a farm near Drogheda – the play grapples with the terrifying growth of fascism in 1930s Europe. Honor Molloy’s plays include Dublin Noir (Origin 1st Irish 2023, NYC – reading); Round Room (Best Playwright – Origin’s 1st Irish 2020); Silver Mouth (NYC Artists Corps); Crackskull Row (Irish Rep, NYC | Nancy Manocherian’s the cell, NYC – NY Times Critic’s Pick); Madame Killer (Clubbed Thumb, NYC)). Maiden Voyages (New Georges, NYC); among others. A New Dramatists alumna, she’s received fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, a Pew Fellowship in the Arts, and the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard, among others.
