Manchán Magan bakes sourdough bread for 75 minutes while offering insights into the wonders of the Irish language – exploring potent words of landscape, terms of intuition and insight, and the many phrases that bring to life the mysterious glory of our natural world.
The show is a celebration of language, land and local Irish food, with freshly-baked bread for the audience to spread with butter they churn themselves. (Knowledge of Irish is not required.)
Is taibhiú drámaíochta é Arán & Im ina bhácálann Manchán arán taos géar ar feadh 75 nóiméad fad is a thugann sé léargas ar iontaisí na Gaeilge; ag ceiliúradh focail mealltacha a bhaineann le tír-dhreach, iomas agus léirstean, chomh maith le abairtí a thugann beocht de chumhacht agus mistéir an saoil nádúrtha.
Is ceiliúradh é ar theanga, tír agus bia áitiúil Éireannaigh, le arán traidisiúnta taos géar atá úr-bhácáilte, agus ar féidir leis an lucht féachana im a chur air atá maistrithe acu féin.
Arán & Im had a nationwide tour with the Abbey Theatre in 2018. In Autumn 2019 it toured widely again. In Spring 2022 it toured 16 cities, 13 states and 2 provinces in USA and Canada. It toured the west coast of North American in 2023 and the UK in Autumn 2024. This Autumn 2025 tour is likely to be the very final tour of the show.
Written & presented by Manchán Magan. Set by Tom de Paor. Originally produced by the Abbey Theatre. Production assistance from Once Off Productions
