Patrick Bergin returns to Cork with a bit of Blarney

Patrick Bergin is back in Cork with an almost- forgotten play he discovered by the brother of one of the 1916 leaders, writes Esther McCarthy.

HIS performance in a show about a grizzly real-life murder sparked a love affair for Patrick Bergin with Macroom. Two years ago, he came to the West Cork town to play the notorious Dripsey poisoner Dr Philip Cross in Murder at Shandy Hall.
