A pair of paparazzi are the only giveaway outside the Abbey Theatre for what proves to be a lowkey night of high-wattage celebrity at the national theatre on Sunday eve. The sold-out crowd was there to see Aidan Quinn and Steve Buscemi perform a reading of Sam Shepard’s 2009 play Ages of the Moon, originally performed at the same venue by Stephen Rea and Sean McGinley.
But sure enough, as curtain time nears, Tim Burton took his seat in front me. Like Buscemi, he’s in Ireland for the filming of the new series of Wednesday for Netflix. The star of the show, and of Burton’s recent Beetlejuice sequel, Jenna Ortega, soon arrived, along with others from the series, including Joy Sunday.
