West Cork Fit-Up Festival Foreign attracts international submissions

For the first time in its seven-year history, a West Cork theatre tour boasts an international dimension, with links to Berlin and Boston, writes Colette Sheridan

"I LOVE the idea of Ballydehob, Berlin and Boston being said in the same breath,” remarks Geoff Gould, director of the West Cork Fit-Up Festival, which, for the first time in its seven-year history, has an international element to it.

Gould’s company, Blood in the Alley Theatre Productions, brings professional theatre to villages in West Cork, as well as some islands, every summer and more recently, during the spring.
