Temple Bar the Musical

Written and directed by Molly Mew, the production follows Molly Malone and St Patrick as they return to the city they once knew, only to discover that Dublin, and Temple Bar in particular, has transformed beyond recognition. Along the way they encounter Sonny McNamara, a working musician in Temple Bar, attempting the impossible challenge of playing seven gigs across the district in a single day.

Blending contemporary theatre with Ireland’s rich musical traditions, Temple Bar the Musical features live performances from an on-stage ensemble of traditional musicians alongside an original score, bringing the sounds and spirit of Temple Bar to life.
