Jocelyn. I know not much about the theater festival, but dublin is the biggest small town you will encounter...it's not my favorite international city but it holds a special place in my heart (being that I spent 4 months in ireland). if you do go, go to the temple bar area...there are many wonderful pubs and crazy irishmen to go around...enjoy!

have fun!
