Dubai Drama Group, in partnership with Theatre by QE2, presents Father Ted
Father Ted is a fast-paced comic evening inspired by the legendary TV series created by Graham Linehan and Arthur Mathews, and produced by Hat Trick Productions. Audiences will meet characters and follow the trials and tribulations of daily life in rural Ireland, brought vividly to life with sharp wit and irreverent humour. Our production captures the spirit of the original series, offering a lively, quick-witted show packed with laughs from start to finish.
The production is directed by James Mitchinson, who delivered an outstanding and critically praised adaptation of another popular TV series, Blackadder goes Forth, for Dubai Drama Group in 2024.
Under his creative leadership, audiences are guaranteed a memorable night of entertainment. As they say in Ireland go on, go on, go on join us for the craic!
He is assisted by Irish actress Aileen Kelly known for leading roles in Dancing at Lughnasa, The Beauty Queen of Leenane and Faith Healer, to name but a few.
