Act One: Last Orders at the Dockside Audio Play

The audio play of Last Orders at the Dockside by Dermot Bolger

Last Orders at the Dockside follows the death of an elderly docker, as his friends gather in the local pub, The Dockside, to celebrate his life. Over the course of an evening awash with songs, sharp Dublin wit and tales of life on the Docks, hidden tensions expose fault lines in their complex relationships.

Last Orders at the Dockside premiered at the Abbey Theatre in September 2019, directed by Graham McLaren. This audio version of Dermot Bolger's original text was recorded at Windmill Lane Studios, Dublin, Ireland, and features the original Abbey Theatre cast.
