THE HAIRY APE: MORE THAN A CENTURY APART.

From the original 1922 production to Irish Rep’s 2026 production, Eugene O’Neill’s The Hairy Ape has continued to provoke, unsettle, and ask difficult questions about class, work, identity, and belonging.

Swipe to see two productions of the same play, staged more than a century apart, then dig deeper into the history, context, and dramaturgy behind THE HAIRY APE by Juliette Carbonnier—and deepen your experience of the play.

Happy opening, ULSTER AMERICAN!

Today, Irish Rep's production of David Ireland's ULSTER AMERICAN begins its sold-out run at the Abbey Theatre!

This is an incredibly proud moment for Irish Rep—our co-founders, Artistic Director Charlotte Moore and Producing Artistic Director Ciarán O'Reilly (who also directs this production), our cast and company, and our board and staff. It truly takes a village to reach a moment like this.

Our deepest thanks to the Abbey Theatre's own remarkable village for their extraordinary hospitality, professionalism, expertise, and care. We are so incredibly proud to be on the Abbey stage!

Wishing our brilliant cast—Max Baker, Matthew Broderick, and Geraldine Hughes— and everyone at Irish Rep and the Abbey who helped bring this production to the stage a wonderful opening.

Here are a few glimpses of this exciting next chapter, onstage and off.
