Performance review: Cork Midsummer Festival

The subtitle for this work states it is a “play written for a gallery”, and you’d be forgiven in the early section for thinking it’s a commentary on art-wankerism. Cliches such as “clean lines” are spewed by the two characters — guides in an art gallery played by Regina Crowley and Frank Prendergast of Gaitkrash — and we’re told the best time to buy an artist’s work is just before they die.
