During Dublin Theatre Festival in 2020, director Conor Hanratty
created a ten-episode series of podcasts introducing a new Irish-language translation
of Aeschylus’ tragedy Persians by Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill.

Now that we are can gather as audiences again, we begin 2022 with a live, unplugged version. This is a thrilling opportunity to encounter a rich new version of Europe’s oldest surviving play and to find a way in to understanding its retelling in Europe’s oldest spoken language, Irish.

Part of the ClassicsNow festival, 
Persians: The Podcast – Unplugged features performances by
Caitríona Ní Mhurchú, Bríd Ní Neachtain, Owen Roe and Iarla Ó Lionáird.
Presented with English surtitles.
Hosted and introduced by Conor Hanratty
