Founded in 1975, Druid is a touring theatre company, anchored in the West of Ireland and looking to the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDruid began as a bold idea: to create Ireland’s first professional theatre company outside of Dublin. There were few resources with which to achieve such an undertaking in the West of Ireland in 1975. Through sheer dedication, and with the support of the Galway community, founders Garry Hynes, Marie Mullen and Mick Lally – alongside a protean ensemble of actors, crew and supporters – made this bold idea a reality. That reality has since become an international success story of extraordinary dimensions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this comprehensive history of the company, Patrick Lonergan weaves together decades of personal stories, archival material, anecdotes, memories and performances into a fascinating and illuminating portrait of one of the most vital institutions in Ireland’s theatrical landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56755796410742,"sku":"9781843519584","price":32.68,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_38917835_71698174-f1ad-4d33-96ff-ef815d049c4a.jpg?v=1764812730","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781843519584-druid","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
