Get your teeth into Cork’s Midsummer Festival

One of the highlight’s of this year’s Cork Midsummer Festival will see the Everyman Theatre transformed into a witches’ coven of "blood curdling intrigue".

This year’s festival, which runs from June 19-23, is focused on the county’s arts organisations and artists, according to its chairwoman, Jane Anne Rothwell.

The haunting highlight comes courtesy of the award-winning directing duo of Michael Barker-Caven and John O’Brien, who have reunited to transform the Everyman for a production of Der Vampyr. An extra-special, late-night performance will take place on the show’s opening night on June 21.
