‘Artists are our life blood’

The curtain continues to rise at the Everyman but virtually for the time being.

It will be awhile before audiences will be back in the theatre for a real live, interactive, experience but the Everyman is continuing with its digital work.

Sophie Motley, the Everyman’s Artistic Director, gave an overview of what’s to come: “I’m thrilled to announce a varied programme of digital work for The Everyman, while the doors to the theatre continue to stay closed.

“With The Corner House Session, our collaboration with Islander, we bring the very best of live music to your eyes and ears, plus the cheeky reminder of how wonderful it will be to be back in the pub ourselves.”

She continued: “There’s some excellent local directors and performers presenting audio recordings of brilliant contemporary theatre, and a five part audio treat for young audiences from Graffiti, alongside a world premiere of John McCarthy’s new play 'City'.”

Sophie added: “Artists are our life blood, and theatre needs to remain in our veins. Having streamed performance is the next best thing to experiencing it in person and reminds us of the importance of artists in our society, and our community. I’m delighted to be virtually meeting and presenting the very best of Cork’s music and theatre community.”
