The Inis Nua Theatre Company has received three nominations for the 2011 Barrymore Awards for Excellence in Theatre from the Theatre Alliance of Greater Philadelphia, all for its production of “Dublin By Lamplight,” a play by Irish playwright Michael West.
Nominated are the cast of “Dublin by Lamplight,” which has spent nearly a month in New York as part of the New York Irish Theater Festival, for “outstanding ensemble in a play,” as well as Charlie DelMarcelle for outstanding lead actor in a play, and John Lionarons for the Clear Sound Award for outstanding sound design and original music.
Inis Nua Theatre Company presents contemporary plays from Ireland and the UK.
“Dublin by Lamplight” wasn’t the only Irish play recognized by the Theatre Alliance. Theatre Exile’s production of the Martin McDonagh play, “The Lieutenant of Inishmore,” was nominated for five awards including outstanding overall production of a play, outstanding direction, outstanding set design, outstanding choreography/movement, and outstanding supporting actor (Pearse Bunting).
The 17th Annual Barrymore Awards ceremony will take place on Monday, October 3, at the Walnut Street Theatre, 825 Walnut Street, Philadelphia. The evening is black tie optional.
