NINETEEN EIGHTY SOMETHING

I am delighted finally to premiere my new solo show “Nineteen Eighty Something” at Garage Theatre Monaghan in April 2026 and to proceed on a short regional tour (dates above) – with Dublin dates under negotiation for September! A memoir of my journey through a decade of personal, artistic and political upheavals… push a button for more detail 🙂

NOW THE (semi) PERMANENT STUFF!

Welcome to the website of Declan Gorman Arts & Events!

I am a playwright, director, performer, producer and public artist with a practice that has covered many aspects of the arts.  At the core is an unswerving belief in the power of live performance – the working towards it and the sharing of it – to change, entertain, question, and somehow to make the world around us a better and more exciting place.

This website contains information about current projects; selected archive materials; resources and a “News & Views” section which combines news with occasional reflections and personal essays, mainly but not exclusively about the arts.

The artist is grateful to the Arts Council, Bealtaine Festival, Fingal County Council and Monaghan County Council for certain short term grants and supports over the past decade, which are listed against the relevant projects on these pages.
