Theatre For One:
This IRELAND

Cork Midsummer Festival & Cork Opera
June 15 – 23, 2024
Emmett Place

produced by LANDMARK PRODUCTIONS and OCTOPUS THEATRICALS

Part confessional, part peep-show booth, and completely visceral, 12 short plays will be performed by one actor for one audience member at a time in a purpose-built booth located on Emmet Place.

Returning following its triumphant Irish premiere at Cork Midsummer Festival 2019, Theatre for One: This Ireland features the six original writers (Marina Carr, Stacey Gregg, Emmet Kirwan, Louise Lowe, Mark O’Rowe and Enda Walsh), working with an electric line-up of new writers (Iseult Deane, Susannah Al Fraihat, Aoibhéann McCann, Joy Nesbitt, Ois O’Donoghue and Aoife Delany Reade), whose short plays were selected from a nationwide public call-out.

One booth, 12 voices and a uniquely intimate experience for each audience member.

★★★★★

“The brilliance of these shows lies in their containment. The five minutes of each episode is long enough to remember Hamlet, prince of Denmark, who could be “bounded in a nutshell” and count himself a king of infinite space. Theatre for One offers the nutshell, and the space.”

–IRISH TIMES


★★★★★

”What is initially a discomfiting intimacy ends up being exhilarating; in an increasingly atomised world, one is reminded of the eternal truth of EM Forster’s famous epigraph: Only Connect.”
