ABOUT THE COMPANY
Grumble Theatre is Dublin’s newest comedic play company. The name Grumble has a lot of deep meaning behind it that we really don’t have the time to get into here and definitely wasn’t just a fun sounding word. We make shows that are funny, shocking and maybe even a bit moving if you squint at them the right way.
