Commemoration Bursaries
The Abbey Theatre Amharclann Na Mainistreach has created fourteen bursaries for theatre artists to spend time thinking, questioning and developing a piece of work provoked by the War of Independence and Civil War period, from 1919-1923, artistically and culturally engaging with this period to create new pieces of performance which also speak to now.

Each bursary is named in honour of one of the fourteen people killed in the Croke Park Massacre on 21st November 1920.

These bursaries will each cover an artist’s stipend of €7,000, a research budget of €1,000 and a €2,000 budget for some development time on the first draft of a new piece of work. The successful artists will have access to support from the Abbey Theatre’s New Work Department and wider artistic team as they develop this work.

At least two of the bursaries have been ringfenced for work developed, intended to be presented in, or engaging on a fundamental level with the Irish Language.
