Accents

The sound of your voice is the sound of your family, your community and where you’re from, it can lift you up and lay you down:

Following two sold-out runs in 2022, Emmet Kirwan’s ACCENTS returns to the stage this January for a much-anticipated tour of Ireland.

Nominated for Best Soundscape at the Irish Times Theatre Awards in 2023, written by Emmet Kirwan (Dublin Oldschool), and music composed by Eoin French (Talos) and directed by Claire O’Reilly (Malaprop Theatre), ACCENTS presents a powerful, poeticjourney through a gentrified city.

This 2025 tour of the show is dedicated to the memory of the late musician Eoin French who sadly passed away earlier this year.
