The play will head to the King’s Head Theatre in Islington from the 31st March until the 17th April 2027.
It has been announced that Fishamble’s multi award-winning, critically acclaimed production of Eva O’Connor’s ‘For Dolores’ will head to London’s King’s Head Theatre for three weeks only next spring.
It’s a smash up. Friends Réaltín and Mo, one Irish and one Scottish, partied, played and blazed their way through the Edinburgh student dream, which started with a chance meeting in a university lift. Now, a few years down the line, the pair reflect on the complicated, all-consuming carnage of their ‘friendship’.
Set across Edinburgh, Ireland and Glasgow each woman navigates and recounts how controlling relationships, addiction and the past have shaped and changed their relationship; like twin stars in obsessive orbit, it’s a friendship, a rivalry and an adventure. For Dolores, is a powerful and beautifully written two-hander that questions how far people will go for the ones they love.
‘For Dolores’ is the latest play from Eva O’Connor, whose previous credits also includes: Mustard, Chicken & Horse Play. This production is directed by Fishamble Artistic Director Jim Culleton (Silent, Maz and Bricks, Heaven).
Lara McDonnell The Crucible (Gaiety Theatre, Dublin), The Hills of California (Broadway and West End), Matilda (West End) Grownups (Netflix) takes on the role of Réaltín and Catriona Faint Gallus in Weegieland (Tron Theatre), James V: Katherine (Raw Material Arts & Capital Theatres), Lost Girls At Bus Stops (Play, Pie, Pint & Traverse Theatre) as Mo.
