Context

Aristocrats was first produced in March 1979 at the Abbey Theatre in Dublin. It has since become a contemporary classic and is widely regarded as the most Chekhovian of Brian Friel’s plays. A production was staged at the Irish Repertory Theatre in New York City in 2013, directed by Charlotte Moore. Most recently, it was revived at the Donmar Warehouse in 2018, directed by Lindsey Turner.
