The 61st Wexford Drama Festival

Wexford Drama Festival is one of the country's longest running amateur theatre festivals and has enjoyed great support from our local audiences since its inception in the Dun Mhuire over 60 years ago. The festival found its new home in the Jerome Hynes Theatre in 2020 and are delighted to have had the support of the National Opera House and its staff. This year the festival celebrates its 61st anniversary with a wonderful line up of talent from around Co Wexford and beyond. With classics and one brand new play, drama to comedy, and even some opera in the mix, there’s something to suit everyone at this year’s festival.
