Where We Bury the Bones
Kilkenny City, Co. Kilkenny
14 August - 16 August 2025
A bone will never speak its secrets – but perhaps it can sing them. Created by multi-award-winners John McIlduff and Brian Irvine, Where We Bury the Bones is an intimate and challenging work of contemporary music theatre.

It begins with the discovery of a single bone, unearthed during the archaeological excavations that preceded the redevelopment of the Abbey Quarter in Kilkenny. From there it evolves into the unfolding of human civilisation: its religion, its industry, its skateboarders.

Thu 14 & Fri 15 Aug at 8pm + Sat 16 Aug at 3pm
