Interest awakens in Spraoi

SPRAOI, the production company behind Saturday night’s riverside extravaganza in Cork city has received widespread praise from as far afield as Europe and America.

As the clean-up operation continues after a glittering start to the Capital of Culture 2005, directors of the company confirmed the Awakening production on the River Lee had caught the attention of audiences far beyond the city’s banks.

“We were informally told that some officials from cities yet to host the Capital of Culture were very impressed with the show,” TV Honan said.
