Sara Keating: The Irish pub is centre stage in immersive soap opera The Local

The play, staged by Asylum Productions as part of the Kilkenny Arts Festival, is performed in a live pub and set in the 1990s – a fascinating time for social change

Clare Monnelly, Medb Lambert and Emma O’Grady collaborated on The Local, a work of pub culture and community. Picture: Bryan Meade
