A photograph of Manchan Magan standing amidst tables, wearing a light shirt and pants with suspenders. He's sprinkling salt onto a baking tray.

Manchán Magan bakes sourdough bread for 75 minutes while offering insights into the wonders of the Irish language – exploring potent words of landscape, terms of intuition and insight, and the many phrases that bring to life the mysterious glory of our natural world. The show is a celebration of language, land and local Irish food, with freshly-baked bread for the audience to spread with butter they churn themselves.

Arán & Im had a nationwide tour with the Abbey Theatre in 2018. In Autumn 2019 it toured widely again. In Spring 2022 it toured 16 cities, 13 states and 2 provinces in USA and Canada. It toured the west coast of North American in 2023. And the UK in Autumn 2024. This Autumn 2025 tour is likely to be the very final tour of the show.

Written & presented by Manchán Magan. Set by Tom de Paor. Originally produced by the Abbey Theatre. Production assistance from Once Off Productions.
