The Echo Boys

…bringing back a piece of Cork’s history…

by Val Dennehy and Marion Wyatt

Marion Wyatt (Director/Playwright) brings her latest creation The Echo Boys to Cork Arts Theatre from April 17th. With an all-star Cork cast and original music from Jimmy Brockie the production promises to be as popular as Katty Barry, Queen of The Coal Quay, Shawlies, Dockers and The Sunbeam Girls.

The Echo Boys is a jaunt down memory lane, packed with chances to laugh out loud at the ‘goings on’ of the newspaper sellers who were described as legends and part of the fabric of Cork. The script is a fictionalised account of the personal histories of former Echo Boys celebrating their resilience, hopes and dreams.

The Echo Boys shows what life was like when Echo Boys were heard on almost every corner of Cork city, shouting, “Echo, Echo, get your Evening Echo!”

Now, unfortunately, no longer part of Cork’s soundscape. However, for a brief time, we will hear their roars once more. The Echo Boys will bring back a piece of Cork’s history.

The Echo Boys will put a smile on your face, a spring in your step and a song in your heart. Sure ‘tis only medaza!
