In a tribute to the legendary Irish dramatist Lady Gregory, renowned Irish singer Imelda May will deliver a special reading of Gregory’s poetry and personal letters at the Abbey Theatre on August 27.

This event is part of the Abbey Theatre’s Gregory Project, which honors the legacy of the co-founder of the Abbey Theatre and celebrated Irish folklorist.

May’s reading will highlight Gregory’s work, which was published under anonymity to avoid controversy.

Following this event, the Dublin Theatre Festival will feature the Abbey Theatre’s debut of Grania, widely regarded as Gregory’s masterpiece.
