The Chalice
Presented by Dublin Fringe Festival
When a medieval chalice is unearthed on an Irish farm, three characters clash over its ownership. An American tracing her lineage insists it’s part of her family legacy but the son of the landowners sees it as his to keep. Tensions spike when a government worker, an immigrant to Ireland, asserts that the state has the strongest claim. A sharp, dark comedy about ownership, identity, and the messy politics of cultural inheritance.
Supported by the Arts Council/ An Chomharile Ealaíon, Dublin Fringe Festival's Weft initiative, Irish Theatre Institute (ITI) & Smock Alley Theatre.
Developed at Dublin Fringe Festival Studios with additional support from Dublinia.
