## Resource

A haunting new play, “Dead in Here,” by CN Smith and directed by Dominic O’Brien, reimagines The Decameron for the age of Covid—locking a group of young people in quarantine as they grapple with love, fear, and societal collapse. At its heart: Brian’s refusal to move in with Georgia, masked as a housing crisis but revealing deeper anxieties. The play’s dark fantasy twist, layered with echoes of Branden Jacob-Jenkins’ “Appropriate,” explores how lockdowns amplify personal and collective dread. Adding to its intrigue: a different actor plays the caretaker in every performance, making each show uniquely unsettling. Now running at Smock Alley Theatre’s Black Box during Dublin Fringe, it’s a timely, provocative dive into what we lost—and what we’re still fighting for.
