THE GREAT HUNGER at The Tank

Photo by Seamus Good

The year? 1849. The place? A Dingle workhouse! It’s the Irish Potato Famine! There are disguises! Star-crossed lovers! Betrayals! Songs! The Great Hunger takes us on an anachronistic, genre-bending journey through the past and into the present, exploring the different ways we define pain, suffering, and connection. A play with music by Kallan Dana, directed by Erica Zippel Schnitzer.
