The 7 Woods & Gregory – Yeats Autumn Gathering 2025 is shaping up to be a packed weekend of walks, talks and entertainment, with an opening night performance of ‘Lady Gregory in America’ in the Lady Gregory Hotel in Gort, Co. Galway!<\/p>\n

‘Lady Gregory in America’ is a delightful short opera by Colm Toibin and a score by Alberto Caruso. It tells the funny, alarming, historic tale of Lady Gregory leading the Abbey Theatre Players\u2019 tour of the United States in 1911-12 when they performed JM Synge\u2019s, ‘The Playboy of the Western World’.<\/p>\n

At the play\u2019s opening in Dublin four years earlier, there had been audience uproar; riots and police on hand to quell moral hysterics and protect the actors. \u00a0In Philadelphia, as Toibin\u2019s and Caruso\u2019s work musically recounts, the entire cast is arrested for \u2018immorality\u2019!<\/p>\n

Tickets are \u20ac20pp and are available from Gort Credit Union and Thoor Ballylee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
