Corcadorca production of Enda Walsh play to be staged in former Cork bank

Corcadorca’s new production of an Enda Walsh play is being staged in the building that housed one of Cork’s major financial institutions, writes Colette Sheridan

WHEN playwright Enda Walsh was moving into his new home in London’s Kilburn in the Noughties, a long-time resident of the area didn’t exactly welcome Enda and his wife, enquiring instead as to when they were going to leave.

So relates Pat Kiernan, artistic director of Corcadorca, who says Walsh’s play, Gentrification, loosely inspired by the writer’s experience.
