Synopsis

‘Do you think the city’s forgotten?’

Three centuries. Three moments in time. An epic story of Manchester and Ireland by multi award-winning playwright Rory Mullarkey. Even These Things premiered at the Royal Exchange Theatre 30 years after an IRA bomb devastated the heart of the city.

In 1846, Annie Donovan has a score to settle; in 1996, it looks like any other Saturday morning in Manchester; and in 2026, Jenny moves back to the place where she grew up.

This original and moving new play explores private and public histories, grief and love – and the making and re-making of our city.

This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere production at the Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester in May 2026.
