Since opening its doors in 1995, The Ark has operated in Dublin city as a dedicated cultural centre for children – making and sharing fun, ambitious work that aims to realise every child’s right to participate freely in the arts. At the heart of the award-winning building is the intimate, child-sized theatre, which for thirty years has been launching new plays written for and with children from birth to twelve years old. Dream Big: New Plays from The Ark 2019–2025 brings together five playscripts commissioned for performance in this unique space, collected and lovingly introduced by The Ark’s Director Aideen Howard. Each play incorporated child consultation as an essential part of its development, each is bursting with its own creative spirit, and all five are ready to find new audiences in theatres and classrooms around the country and beyond. Plays included: Peat by Kate Heffernan The Haircut! by Wayne Jordan and Tom Lane What Did I Miss by Shaun Dunne The Giggler Treatment by Fionn Foley The Making of Mollie by Anna Carey
