“What should Ireland write on a postcard to itself?” In a gloriously ambitious project, Dublin’s Abbey theatre has commissioned 50 dramatists to write monologues addressing the future of the nation, with each piece performed by a different actor. Playwrights include Edna O’Brien, Joseph O’Connor and Kit de Waal. Among the performers are Denise Gough and Brendan Gleeson. Screened in four parts, the monologues can be viewed on the Abbey’s YouTube channel from 7.30pm on Tuesday until 1 May.
