Belfast native Des Kennedy launched his first programme as artistic director of the Everyman in Cork on Tuesday evening. Highlights include Cork-made and visiting theatre productions, as well as an eclectic mix of concerts, comedy and other entertainment offerings.
Over the next few months, theatre-lovers attending the MacCurtain Street venue will have a chance to see a Brian Friel play, Laura Whitmore in an adaption of The Girl On The Train, and three of Sean O’Casey’s comedies. Michael Harding and Nigel Owens are among the figures who’ll be discussing their lives on stage, while the comedy roster includes international star Jason Manford and Dublin’s Emma Doran.
