Veronica Coburn, Artistic Director, of Home Theatre (Ireland) guided 47 playwrights and theatre artists together with 30 hosts, a host being a Dublin 15 resident, to come together in a profoundly meaningful way in the commissioning and producing of 30 new plays, inspired by the artist’s ‘host’ and performed in their homes, 3 times on one evening, 6th October 2018.  90 performances in one night across Dublin 15 with an audience of 1,428.   24 of the plays were performed in Draíocht as part of the 2018 Dublin Theatre Festival programme.  Through this project, Draíocht became part of a vibrant and forward-thinking international network of organisations pushing the boundaries of what and who theatre is for.  Home was a large scale, ambitious project that has had far reaching impacts for Draíocht, the artists and individuals involved.   An Evaluation, 20-minute documentary as well as a recording of each performance is available.
