Dublin show: Touching play about Stardust tragedy returns ahead of anniversary

A touching play written by the daughter of two Stardust survivors is having its first run since the onset of the pandemic.

48, which is written by and stars Gemma Kane, tells the story of her parents as a young couple, who were in attendance at the Stardust nightclub on the night of the fire. Kane’s parents both escaped the blaze and went on to get married shortly afterwards.

The play’s producer, Ali Fox, says she was nervous about how the play would be perceived by audiences because of its sensitive subject matter.
