About
EUGENE O NEILL FESTIVAL
The Eugene O’Neill International Festival of Theatre in New Ross is a cultural and a civic celebration of the strong ties between Ireland and the United States exemplified by O’Neill’s Irish heritage.
Eugene O’Neill’s father James, along with his parents and siblings, lived in nearby Tinneranny and emigrated from New Ross.
The cultural tie between the two countries is reinforced by a partnership between the O’Neill Ancestral Trust of New Ross and the Eugene O’Neill Foundation, Tao House, of Danville, California.
Together they present the International Eugene O’Neill Festival. The first half of which is held in September in Danville each year and the second half in New Ross in October.
The new cultural tie had created a civic bond between New Ross and Danville who have entered into a formal Friendship City partnership to celebrate and promote “One Festival, Two Countries.”

“The one thing that explains more than anything about me is the fact that I’m Irish.”
