An epic family drama, shot through with dark humour, The Last Days of a Reluctant Tyrant tells the tragic story of a family disintegrating, having lost its moral values.

It is a haunting new work from leading Irish dramatist Tom Murphy, who has worked closely with the Abbey throughout his career. His plays include Alice Trilogy, The House, The Wake, A Crucial Week in the Life of a Grocers Assistant, The Morning After Optimism, Famine, The Sanctuary Lamp, Conversations on a Homecoming, A Whistle in the Dark, Bailegangaire and The Gigli Concert.
