2018 saw the formation of the Rough Magic Ensemble who came together to perform two plays: Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream with Kilkenny Arts Festival and Arthur Riordan’s adaptation of Joyce’s A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man for Dublin Theatre Festival and on a National Tour.
As this week we celebrate both Bloomsday and Midsummer - what better time to visit the 2018 Ensemble with The Improbability Archive’
The Ensemble were a “hugely talented, charming, and close-knit group of young actors”… recognise anyone you know?
