Anu dawn for Irish theatre  with ’The Monto Cycle’

The fourth and final play depicting the notorious inner-city area is on Sunday, says Padraic Killeen

THE curtain is drawing down on ‘The Monto Cycle’, one of the most startling Irish theatre events of the past decade. Since 2010, in a series of exhilarating works of immersive theatre, Louise Lowe and Anu Productions have explored the social-history of ‘the Monto’, a once notorious sector of north inner-city Dublin.

The fourth and final play, Vardo, completes its run during the Dublin Theatre Festival this Sunday.
