Made by God features the true and tragic story of the 1984 death of Ann Lovett and her newborn baby in Granard, County Longford. Her pregnancy was reportedly unknown to all, including her family, and no social services were open to the pregnant teen. Shortly before Ann’s death, a referendum in Ireland established the 8th Amendment: deeming the right to life of an “unborn” equal to the life of a pregnant woman. In 2018, shortly after Made by God is set, the 8th Amendment was repealed by a referendum.
COVID Safety Information:
Only individuals who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 will be allowed to enter Irish Repertory Theatre. All guests must wear a properly-fitting approved face mask over their nose and mouth at all times in the theatre, even while in their seat. We strongly encourage audience members to use KN95 or N95 masks, and will have approved masks for anyone who requires one.
As guidelines continue to change, we are constantly monitoring the rules and regulations put forth by the CDC, the New York State Department of Health, the Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and New York City’s “Restart NYC” guidance for businesses as well as the new Key to NYC program instituted on August 3.
We value the commitment you make when you purchase a ticket and will keep in communication as we navigate the coming months together. More in-depth information about our protocols, including how to show your vaccinations status, can be seen on the Irish Rep website.
