Ireland's Call: John Connors

  • Courthouse Arts Centre Dwyer Square Tinahely, County Wicklow, Ireland (map)

Ireland’s Call follows the journey of a young man growing up on Dublin’s Northside. Told through a series of characters and turning points — from childhood to prison — the story explores the roots of class-based oppression, addiction, and generational trauma. It’s a sharp examination of masculinity, institutional neglect, and the choices facing those raised in the margins of modern Ireland.

 

John Connors toured the world with Ireland’s Call from 2018 to 2020, performing to sold-out audiences and critical acclaim in Ireland, the UK, France, Australia, and the United States.

John Connors:

“This show feels more relevant now than ever. It speaks directly to what’s happening now, classism, addiction, families being failed and the lost youth, but art brings hope and can light up the darkest places.”
