10 New Plays, 100 Minutes of Great Theatre

Tuesday 15th to Saturday 19th October @ 8pm  

“Our very popular short play event celebrates its 10th year!”

Established in 2010, our 10 x 10 Minute Play Event celebrates 10 years of great performances and the premieres of dozens of new plays in that time.

The event has proved immensely popular with audiences and performers alike over the years and, once again, there are ten mini-plays each evening with themes ranging from high comedy to more serious plotlines so there something to suit all tastes. Audiences also get to vote for their favourite play of the evening which adds to the sense of occasion.

We are delighted to be able to say that this event has grown from its humble beginnings to become one of the most popular shows in our annual programme. There was huge interest again this year from writers both nationally and internationally with 106 plays submitted. These then had to be whittled down to just 10 which was not an easy task. However, the final ten plays are wonderful examples of what can be achieved on stage in a short space of time with a well-crafted script.

We would like to thank all of the actors, directors and crew who will be working hard to bring these wonderful stories to life in the run-up to opening night on the 15th October. The event continues to be an important fund-raiser for the Cork Arts Theatre and it wouldn’t be possible without everyone giving of their time so generously. Our audiences, too, deserve our sincere thanks as, each year, they attend the event in great numbers, with most performances selling out!

We are looking forward to another week of great theatre with a wealth of fabulous Cork talent at, what we like to call, ‘The Little Theatre with a Big Heart’.”

Here are the 10 plays that will be performed in this year’s 10×10 Minute Play Event at the Cork Arts Theatre.
