Some of Our Children by Quintessence Theatre

Some of Our Children is a touring drama production presented by Quintessence Theatre in association with An Táin Arts Centre, Dundalk, playing a single date at Solstice Arts Centre in Navan on Friday 16 October. The partnership between the two venues means the production is touring the wider northeast region rather than staying in one town, so this is one Meath audiences would otherwise have to travel to Louth to catch.
As with most single-night touring theatre dates at Solstice, expect a full-length production staged in the venue’s main auditorium rather than a studio space, with the production values of a company that has built the show for multiple stops rather than a one-off local performance. Quintessence Theatre’s pairing with An Táin Arts Centre points to a more contemporary Irish drama sensibility than the amateur pantos and musicals that fill much of Solstice’s autumn calendar, so this slot is aimed at audiences looking for something more text-driven and issue-led. Because it is a single evening performance with no matinee or second night listed, anyone interested should book ahead rather than assume a later date will be available.
Solstice Arts Centre regularly hosts touring productions like this from companies with a regional or national circuit, sitting alongside its resident amateur societies’ own shows through the autumn programme.
Navan is roughly an hour from Dublin by road on the N3, with Bus Éireann and Dublin Coach both running regular services into Navan Bus Station on Railway Street, a short walk from the arts centre. Town-centre car parks are within easy reach for drivers.
Navan sits where the Boyne and Blackwater rivers meet, with cafés and restaurants along Trimgate Street for a meal before the show. There is more to see in Navan and across Co. Meath.
