Theatre Review: Sunder - Moore Street, Dublin

4/5

Just after Colin Murphy’s Inside the GPO gave audiences a look at what the leaders of the 1916 Rising were up to at the centre of events, Anu are continuing the dramatic reimagining around the Moore Street area, where the Rising’s last scenes were played out. And this time, we hear from the foot soldiers of the conflict, as well as the poor of Dublin, caught in the crossfire of history.

In many ways, Sunder, directed by Louise Lowe, typifies the striking, immediate approach that has made Anu’s name, delivering sharp shots of social history and commentary via intense scenes in front of tiny audiences.
