Journey to Apollo is a new play written by Eamonn McNicholas, currently undergoing final fine tuning before it debuts (fingers crossed) in 2026.

Eamonn started writing Journey to Apollo in 2021 during the Covid pandemic. After failing to secure development funding through traditional channels in consecutive years, Eamonn decided to progress the development of the play independently. He enlisted Galway based Theatre practitioner Sarah O’Toole to work with him, initially as dramaturg, and later as Director of a Work-In-Progress (WIP) performance in the Linenhall Arts Centre Castlebar in June 2025.

The audience feedback following the WIP performance was very positive and that feedback is now being incorporated into the final script of the play. We hope to bring it to Theatres across Ireland in 2026.
