Welcome to Aisling Ghéar Theatre Company

Aisling Ghéar is Irelands' only professional theatre company working full-time to deliver great shows through the medium of Irish language and it's based in Belfast. It is the resident theatre company in the Cultúrlann McAdam Ó Fiaich - an Irish language arts and cultural centre and home to the Siobhan McKenna Theatre.

Briefly about us...

Established in 1997, the company has produced and toured work of consistently high quality from playwrights as diverse as - Machiavelli, WB Yeats, Tom Murphy, Biddy Jenkinson, Eugene Ionesco, Samuel Beckett, Eoghan Ó Tuairisc, Brian Friel, Dario Fo, and Willy Russell. Our highly regarded schools' production of 'An Triail' by Máiréad Ní Ghráda is now firmly set on the schools' calendar, and provides support for teaching staff while offering A-level students the opportunity to experience a quality theatrical production of a timeless Irish language drama.

Among our priorities is our commitment to new Irish writing and we have to date developed and produced 8 new Irish language plays for the stage.
