FUN HOME to receive Irish premiere in Summer 2023

Tony award-winning musical Fun Home will receive its Irish premiere at Dublin’s Gate Theatre in Summer 2023, the venue has announced.

After the sudden death of her father, graphic novelist Alison is forced to confront long-hidden familial secrets that come to light. Fun Home features Alison both past and present: her memories as a child playing in the family’s funeral home merge with her time as a college student coming out and finding first love, and her adult life as a successful graphic novelist.

Adapted from the acclaimed graphic novel by Alison Bechdel, Fun Home has music by Jeanine Tesori, a book and lyrics by Lisa Kron and direction by Róisín McBrinn.

Dates and ticket information will be revealed in due course.
