About this event

Dublin Municipal Theatre presents the world premiere of Let Me In by Esosa Ighodaro at Smock Alley Theatre as part of Dublin Theatre Festival 2026.

Lola is a firefighter – in every part of her life. The city is on fire and Lola needs rest, but it’s almost Seán’s birthday and his friends are coming over. Let Me In is a new play by Esosa Ighodaro set in contemporary Ireland – where welcome is offered but belonging is negotiated daily. Told through warmth and humour, with a creeping sense of inevitability.

It’s a comedy.

It’s a romance.

It’s a fairy tale.

It’s a tragedy.

Warnings: Racism / Violence

ISL Interpreted Performance / Talking Theatre post-show discussion with Esosa Ighodaro: Thu 8 Oct.
