A new production of Declan Hassett’s play, Sisters, will be staged at the Cork Arts Theatre. But unlike the original production with the late Anna Manahan playing it as a one-hander, director Pat Talbot is presenting the play as a two hander. It stars Fionula Linehan as Martha and Catherine Mahon-Buckley as Mary.
The play, first staged at the Everyman in 2005 during Cork’s tenure as European Capital of Culture, was inspired by the Bible story of Martha and Mary.
