The Anatomy of Burke and Hare is a play running at Bewleys Cafe Theatre in Dublin from 19 October to 7 November 2026. Bewley's Café Theatre presents it with Naming Cows Theatre Company. Darragh Gilhooly wrote it.
The story begins in Edinburgh in 1828, where two Irishmen see a murky business opportunity in the graveyards of Victorian Edinburgh. The play follows the twisted relationship of Burke and Hare and the secrets that led to their destruction. Darragh Gilhooly and Ruiairí Lenaghan perform, and Gwenaelle Gillet directs.
Performances run Monday to Saturday at 13:00, and a soirée performance takes place on Thursday, 5 November 2026, at 19:00. The running time is 55 minutes. The age guidance is 14 and over.
The play contains references to murder, alcoholism and suicide, and it contains strong language. Tickets cost 10 euros on Monday and Tuesday, 12 euros on Wednesday and Thursday, and 15 euros on Friday and Saturday. Soirée tickets cost 15 euros.
