Originally produced in association with The Abbey Theatre in Dublin, Arán & Im is a theatrical performance in which Irish writer and presenter Manchán Magan bakes sourdough while offering insights into the wonders of the Irish language – exploring potent words of landscape and the many phrases that bring to life the mysterious glory of our natural world.

The title, Arán & Im, is Irish for bread and butter. The show is a celebration of the Irish language, landscape and traditional food, served with freshly-baked traditional sourdough bread for the audience to slice and spread with butter that they churn themselves during the performance. Prior knowledge of the Irish language is not required to enjoy this amusing, homemade, deeply-satisfying morsel of Irish culture.
