A note from our Executive and Artistic Directors It’s hard to believe that two months have already passed since we took over the leadership of this beautiful and storied theatre. Serving The Everyman and its audiences is a unique honour and we are very proud to present our first full season of shows to you.

Highlights include the much anticipated collaboration between The Everyman and Cork Operatic Society with Marschner’s opera Der Vampyr, theatre treasure Simon Callow in top form with The Man Jesus (for one night only!), Des Bishop’s Coming Home with tales of learning to do stand up in Chinese, and a visit from our national theatre as John B. Keane’s Sive gets the Abbey Theatre treatment.

The month of September will see a fascinating array of plays either dealing directly with or inspired by true events. We’re particularly thrilled to welcome Actors Touring Company (UK) with David Greig’s daring play The Events (The Guardian’s Best Play of 2013), during which four Cork-based choirs will share the stage with this top class company.

This programme proudly wears its Cork credentials on it sleeves, showcasing the work of Cork’s excellent theatremakers working at home and abroad. Highlights include a new adaptation of Frank O’Connor’s much-loved short stories, God

Bless the Child, and the return of the hapless thieves of Liam Heylin’s Love, Peace and Robbery, as well as extraordinary new productions: Enter Juliet and Between Trees and Water from two of Cork’s most exciting theatre companies – BrokenCrow and Painted Bird. Flying the flag for Cork abroad and returning home for three nights is Cork treasure Conor Lovett, bringing the wonderful Title and Deed by Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Will Eno, before they take on California and then the Edinburgh Festival.

There is much, much more besides, including music, comedy, family shows, even more theatre, the best Morecambe and Wise show you’re ever likely to see, the Jazz Festival, and family favourite – the Christmas Panto, as CADA and The Everyman sprinkle fairy dust over the magical tale of Cinderella!

We hope you’ll join us for a moment of joy, fun or inspiration during this coming season. In the Spring Brochure, our predecessors described The Everyman as “a unique and priceless gem”. We couldn’t agree more. Here’s to the future!

OPERA

Der VampyrJoin a cast of international singers, actor musicians, the chorus of Cork Operatic Society and a spine tingling acting ensemble of vampires, witches and living visions of the undead, as the Everyman will once again turn opera into a visual spectacle, an event that will live long in the memory.

Will the vampire get his wish and find three brides about to celebrate their wedding vows whom he can willingly ravage? Will the dark lord of the underworld summon him back to the abyss forever? Will those who know his dark plans keep their vow of silence or will he be revealed for what he is – the predator within our midst?

Award-winning directing duo, Michael Barker-Caven and John O'Brien, reunite following the triumph of their production of Pagliacci in 2012. Along with the creative talent of Lisa Zagone, they will transform the Everyman for Cork Midsummer Festival 2014 into a witch's coven of blood curdling intrigue.

Enter Juliet

DRAMA

It’s a matter of life or death.

Enter Juliet is a darkly comic tale of the abandoned mad. It is a riveting story of the starving and trapped, of power struggles, lunacy and the stories we tell ourselves to get through the day.

Trapped and long since forgotten, our group have fallen into a social order, an order that is challenged by one of their rank producing an ill-remembered, mongrel Shakespearean play. They perform and are rewarded with food from a hatch. So they perform again and again... and again... but the food doesn't come.

Still they cling to the hope that their patchwork play might save them but are so weak and addled that they can no longer even remember their real names.

Must the show really go on?

Duration - 90 minutes approx. No intermission.

The short stories of Cork born Frank O'Connor are universally regarded as being classics of their kind. None more so than his brilliant stories about his childhood, which have been much loved by many generations of readers around the world.

Now, for the first time, three of those stories: My Oedipus Complex, The Genius and First Confession are brought together within a single play, which will provide a hugely entertaining and uplifting night of theatre. Richly evocative of Cork in the early decades of the 20th century, hilariously funny, and featuring some of Cork’s best acting talent, God Bless the Child will be a must-see.

With Shane Casey (Love, Peace and Robbery), Liam Heffernan (The Cavalcaders, Fair City, Glenroe) and Gary Murphy (The Vikings, The Tudors).

A Few Good MenThe trial of two Marines for complicity in the death of a fellow Marine at Guantanamo Bay sizzles on stage.

The Navy lawyer, a callow young man more interested in softball games than the case, expects a plea bargain and a cover up of what really happened. Prodded by a female member of his defence team, the lawyer eventually makes a valiant effort to defend his clients and, in so doing, puts the military mentality and the Marine code of honour on trial.

Between Trees and Water

Enter a world where the sepia tones of hidden history and the technicolour of live theatre collide.

Using documentary material, witness statements, court depositions and newspaper articles relating to the case of

Bridie Kirk, who died in Cork City in 1939 as a result of an illegal abortion, this play is about trying to find a way to tell a story that for

75 years has gone untold.

The project is the result of an ambitious collaboration between a cast of five performers, composer Tom Lane, designer Deirdre Dwyer,

dramaturg Thomas Conway and director Fiona McGeown.

What critics had to say about previous Santa Ponsa shows:


The 'Live' Last WaltzBack by popular demand, the spectacular, live, re-enactment of the music from Martin Scorsese's documentary, The ‘Live’ Last Waltz with ten piece band, full brass section and all the special guests, returns for one night only.

The Last Waltz was a live performance, filmed and directed by Martin Scorsese which commemorates the history and music of Bob Dylan and The Band and is regarded as the greatest rock and roll concert movie of all time.

It started as a concert - it became a celebration and then one of the best loved music films of all time, but of course it was the guest list on the night that turned it into the greatest gig of all time as Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Eric Clapton, Van Morrison, Muddy Waters, Dr John, Joni Mitchell, Neil Diamond, Ronnie Hawkins and a host of others joined The Band on stage.

The Rape of Lucretia

MUSIC

‘The pity is that sin has so much grace, it moves like virtue’

In this opera of devastating beauty a state of perpetual war exists. Terror has a grip on the land. Justice has been put on

hold, truth blurred and only the strong prevail.

This bold updating of Britten’s chamber masterwork will showcase the best of emerging Irish singing talent in a daring staging of this

searing tale of civic corruption, sexual desire and the abuse of power.

Laramie, Wyoming, USA, a small town which became infamous overnight in October 1998. A young man is

abducted, tied to a fence, tortured and brutally beaten. Was it for his shoes and wallet or something more than that? This

is the scandal the shocked America and the world. The young man was left to die and this play follows his tragic story and the

debate about hate crimes that followed.

The play draws on hundreds of interviews with inhabitants of the town, journal entries from the writers and published news reports.

This production features some of Cork’s finest young theatre talents, all former students at the Wolfe Stage School, who have shown huge

commitment and ambition in bringing this excoriating piece of theatre to life.

What Happened Bridgie Cleary

'I never knew anyone that wasn’t someway prisoner'

In 1895, Tipperary woman Bridget Cleary was burnt to death by her husband. His defence? She was a fairy, replaced by a changeling. Her crime? Being a sensual independent woman who didn't conform to what was expected of her.

What Happened Bridgie Cleary is a poetic and dramatic interpretation of this Munster story. Starring Joanne Ryan (Ros na Rún) who was nominated this year for an Irish Times Theatre Award for her portrayal of Bridgie, alongside well-known actors Myles Breen and Pius McGrath.

'Do you speak English? Not to worry. We’re all a big crazy tribe here. Do you want to look at the music? Do you want to sit?'

When something terrible happens, we want to know why. Why now? Why me? Why us? Claire, the priest of a small seaside village, wants to understand why a boy walked into her choir rehearsal and slaughtered several members. But her search consumes her, and the more information she gathers, the further she wanders from the truth and from herself.

This is a mighty play about not just one lost soul, but many. It is about grief and anger, but also about the things that bind us together as a community, the things that drive us apart, and what it is that makes us human.

David Greig’s daring new play asks how far forgiveness can go in the face of atrocity within your own community. Featuring a different local choir at every performance and a soaring soundtrack, The Events tells of tragedy, obsession and our destructive desire to fathom the unfathomable.

Lorraine loses it at work and is shipped off to see the ‘head doctor’. While Granny Kay ‘toys’ with the idea of ‘Kermit’ scratching an itch that Gem no longer can. Be prepared to be enthralled and entertained in this revealing, poignant and hilarious play.

We have a treasure of delights to share with both primary and secondary schools this season and we are calling on YOU to help

us to engage and connect with younger audiences!

We have programmed the very best of Irish theatre for your students this year with visits from the Abbey Theatre, Cyclone Rep and

Theatre Lovett. Take a look through our brochure at what is on offer and remember teachers go free and schools always get a very special rate!

If you have any queries or need further information do not hesitate to contact us on 021 450 1673 or [email protected]

It is not what is poured into the student that counts but what is planted.

betty brosnan Front-of-House Volunteer

As the current Friday ‘Senior’ (a position that rotates) I co-ordinate the Friday crew. I check beforehand to ensure we have enough volunteers and if not, I put out an appeal for helpers. On the night, I assign duties, ensuring adequate cover and keep a written record of every show which I sign off on at the end of a night. Each night has its own team but we all co-operate and willingly help each other out when required.

Favourite thing about working at the EverymanI love everything about it, from the minute I don the black ‘uniform’ until the usual end-of-night question ‘What’s in next week?’ I love the buzz of being busy. But the best thing about working here is meeting people. All the people - volunteers, staff, public and I always love meeting the audiences. It being a social occasion, I meet people at their best, people are out to enjoy themselves, so are in good form. Over the years I’ve met many different people and now know the ‘regulars’ likely to attend a particular show.

Then of course, there is the drama! I joined the Everyman because I love theatre and had made a New Year resolution to go to a play once a month. Now I get to enjoy the best of theatre on a weekly basis. That in itself is its own reward. I’m constantly honing my critical skills. At the same time I’m learning and appreciating more and more about theatre and performing.

What I do…I am one of a large number of Front-of-House volunteers at The Everyman. As a member of the Friday night team, I deal directly with the public, under the direction of the Front of House managers, Pat and Sharon. Our task as Front of House staff is to ensure that audiences have an enjoyable theatrical experience. Our duties include greeting audience members, checking admission tickets, ushering audience to seats, selling programmes and ice cream and running the shop. In addition, we maintain a presence in the auditorium during performances to ensure that nothing, e.g. mobile phones / flash photography etc. interrupts the show. Most importantly, we are all trained in fire procedure and closely monitor the emergency exits.

Best momentsThere are many great moments, like when someone comes up thanking me at the end of a show or seeing the wonder on the faces of the children attending the panto. However, my best moment is a personal one - working alongside my son, Barry, when he joined the technical crew at The Everyman. A ‘proud momma’ moment. And, we get to have interesting discussions on the merit of a show as seen from different aspects.

Favourite showThis is hard! So many shows are clamouring for mention : ‘The Year of Magical Thinking’ by Joan Didion, with Gerry McLoughlin, Neil LaBute’s ‘Wrecks’ featuring Ed Harris, Pat Kinevane’s one man masterpiece ‘Forgotten’, and of course the ever popular ‘Tom Crean’ play. However, the one show that really stands out for me is last year’s ‘Orpheus’. This show had everything - costumes, music and dancing. It was visually gorgeous, musically enchanting and altogether just beautiful. Thanks to this wonderful production by The Everyman and Cork Operatic Society, I’ve become an opera lover. I’m looking forward to ‘Der Vampyr’ which opens on my birthday, June 21st.
