Irish Repertory Theatre has revealed casting for their upcoming run of Brian Friel's Aristocrats, the second in their Friel Project series. Continuing through May 2024, the project will see the Off-Broadway company presenting three of Friel's plays, all set in the fictional Irish town of Ballybeg. Aristocats, beginning previews January 11, 2024 ahead of a January 21 opening night, is the second in the series. The run will continue through March 3.

Aristocats centers on Ballybeg Hall, the decaying home of District Justice O'Donnell. The family comes to congregate for a wedding, only to end up staying for a funeral. Irish Rep previously presented the work in 2009.

Irish Rep Artistic Director Charlotte Moore is helming the revival, which will feature scenic design by Charlie Corcoran, costume design by David Toser, lighting design by Michael Gottlieb, sound design and original muisc by Ryan Rumery and M.
