Hi there, we’re Asylum Productions, a small theatre company in rural Ireland, that centres its work around paying attention.
Across 2026 we are in the throes of The Alice Project - a public art commission from Kilkenny County Council as part of their 2024-2027 Programme - Book your tickets for that here: Kilkenny Arts Festival
July 2026 sees us further developing a project in Clonmel towards an production in 2027. Find out all about that here: Clonmel Junction Arts Festival
Twinning with the extraordinary Slung Low over in Leeds in the UK (really worth checking them out here);
Alongside continuing our amazing partnership with Once Off Productions to create new and exciting works of theatre.
What is the point of us?
Good question.
We usually make unusual theatre in unusual spaces, with unusual people, usually outside of a theatre, often in rural Ireland, usually with people that don’t usually work in theatre. Or go to theatre. Or think much about theatre in any way except when we come along.
We aim to create extraordinary acts of theatre and community, empowering others to join us in making great art.
