Crochet Circle

Written and performed by Orla Scally

Orla Scally is a recipient of the CATALYST Award 2026, a Cork Arts Theatre initiative in association with Cork Opera House and Once Off Productions.

Welcome to the crochet circle, hosted by Fruitcake the plant.

Yes, he’s a plant, sprouted from the earth. But this isn’t about him. It’s about us. Together. So put on your second-hand glad rags, arm yourself with your natural fibre yarns and get yourself down to this circle-like gathering. Let’s create.

Unrelated side note: on a scale of 1-10, how much do you worry about the climate crisis?

Created and performed by drag performer Orla Scally, Crochet Circle features original songs, live music and tangents into the world of Irish folklore with a twist.
*Crocheters of all levels of experience (and none) are welcome!

CATALYST is a collaboration between Cork Arts Theatre, Cork Opera House and Once Off Productions, which aims to provide a platform for the work of early career theatre artists in the city, and an opportunity for them to develop their practice in a professional context.
