Sarah Jessica Parker has always shared how much she loves Ireland.
She and her husband, Matthew Broderick, spend the summer in Donegal and have been spotted for decades enjoying the Irish countryside.
This summer, however, they’re showing love to Dublin as Matthew is appearing in a new play, Ulster American, in the Abbey Theatre.
Ulster American is written by David Ireland and directed by Ciarán O’Reilly, starring Max Baker, Matthew Broderick and Geraldine Hughes.
It is described as a “savagely funny play that dissects the intersection of identity politics, ego, privilege, and the Northern Irish Troubles with satirical precision”.
On the evening before rehearsals begin for her new work, Ulster-born playwright Ruth Davenport visits the home of English director Leigh Carver, along with Oscar-winning Hollywood star Jay Conway who has just arrived in London to star in the world premiere.
What begins as a cordial gathering to discuss the upcoming production quickly descends into a brutal psychological brawl as egos, ideologies, and historical baggage collide.
Sarah Jessica Parker was spotted supporting her husband in the Abbey Theatre this week as well as other well known faces including Stephen Rae, Tim Murphy and Richard Kind.
