As part of Dublin Theatre Festival 2025
HOW WAS IT FOR YOU?
As the festival draws to conclusion, we take a moment to pause and ask — How was it for you? To help us answer this question, we have invited some of the most exciting voices in theatre criticism to lead us in a discussion of what we have seen, what does it mean and what impact it had on us at this year’s festival.
Natasha Tripney, from The Stage and the illuminating Substack Café Europa, José Solis, founder of the BIPOC Critics Lab in New York, and Helen Meany, The Guardian’s critic for Ireland, make up our panel, chaired by Karen Fricker, co-founder of Irish Theatre Magazine and editorial advisor of Intermission Magazine (Toronto).
If you saw some shows in this year’s festival, we encourage you to come with your questions, thoughts and opinions, to engage in this conversation about what you saw in the festival and how it speaks to where theatre is at today.
