Druid is today mourning the death of Brian Friel. Artistic Director Garry Hynes said “To have lived and worked in the theatre at a time when Brian Friel was writing his great plays was a privilege. He is gone from us now but the gift of his imagination will live on forever on the stages of the world. Rest in peace Brian” The company extends its deepest sympathies to Anne, to his daughters and son and to the wider family of his close colleagues in the Irish theatre and abroad.
