In-house Productions
In addition to hosting educationalists from all over the country, we also run our own In-House Productions. Since our foundation in 2012, we’ve staged productions across a host of themes and genres. We’ve become particularly well known for our performances of Shakespeare dramas for the Junior and Leaving Certificate syllabus. Our mission is to deliver productions of Shakespeare’s works that are relevant and engaging for your students.

Shakespeare Productions
Presentations of plays prescribed in the Junior and Senior Cycle curricula. Each year the venue welcomes, on average, 10,000 students to either the Leaving Cert or Junior Cycle production.
The Mill began producing Shakespeare for young audiences in 2013. Each year the featured text on the Leaving Cert has been produced while the Junior Cycle text of Romeo and Juliet was first presented in 2017.
Our programme for 2024/2025 includes:
- Introductory workshops for local schools
Running free workshops at local schools enables us to introduce the theatre to our young community and encourage participation in our Youth Theatre - Shakespeare Schools Festival
- Merchant of Venice (live performance for Junior Cycle Students)
- King Lear (live performance for Leaving Cert Students)
These productions have gone from strength to strength, with our Outreach & Education continuing to develop relationships with schools, teachers and students across Ireland. These relationships also extend to the creative community, contracting a number of professional actors and creatives to ensure the continued high quality of our productions.
