“a veering, vivid, ribald monologue expertly performed by Ms. Moloney” – The New York Times
It is Ireland in the early hours of June 17th, 1904. Molly Bloom’s husband—the wandering philandering Leopold “Poldy” Bloom—has just come home and fallen asleep in their Dublin row house. Molly—a daughter, a mother, a lover and a long-suffering wife—patrols the pathways of her wild and leaping consciousness. She is lustful. Scared. Exuberant. Heartbreakingly lonely. Vivaciously reckless. And profoundly funny.
The 2019 Irish Rep World Premiere production of Yes! Reflections of Molly Bloom was awarded the Outer Critics Circle Award and nominated for the Off Broadway Alliance Award for Solo Performance.
NEW MEET THE MAKERS EPISODES COMING SOON:

In this special Meet the Makers episode, Ellen McCourt and Malachy McCourt, Frank McCourt’s widow and brother, respectively, remember Frank in advance of Irish Rep’s digital fundraiser, The Irish (Rep)…and How We Got That Way.
Meet the Maker: Conor McPherson
WHEN: Thursday, July 2

Meet the Makers: John Douglas Thompson and Obi Abili on Breaking Barriers in Eugene O’Neill’s The Emperor Jones
WHEN: Thursday, July 16
Eugene O’Neill evolved as the first major American playwright to address the problem of racism in the United States. He despised the discrepancies between the image America projected – a democracy based on equality and justice for all – and what he really saw as a racially divided land of gross inequality. At Irish Repertory Theatre, John Douglas Thompson and Obi Abili both memorably played the title role in O’Neill’s provocative and controversial play The Emperor Jones in separate productions. With director Ciarán O’Reilly, they discuss the complexities of exploring this 1920 play that exposed the painful truths that America is still grappling with 100 years later.
The staff of Irish Repertory Theatre is currently working remotely, but our Box Office can still be accessed by phone Monday through Saturday from noon-6pm and Sunday from noon-5pm at 212-727-2737.
