Cork will come alive next month as the city’s leading cultural extravaganza returns with a full live programme. A particularly strong drama programme includes a piece inspired by Cork author Frank O’Connor, and another featuring tales from the War of Independence in the city.
While Cork Midsummer Festival kept the show on the road for the last two years with a streamlined programme due to the pandemic, this year it is back to business as usual. The festival programme features an impressive and eclectic line-up of theatre, dance, music, visual art and more, echoing the message that the arts are for all.
