SUMMARY:Shakespeare's Macbeth (adapted) and Romero
DESCRIPTION:Thursday 2nd to Saturday 4th April @ 7.30pm\n\nLorca Theatre Company presents\n\nTwo One-Act plays\n\n‘Shakespeare’s Macbeth’ (adapted) and ‘Romero’\n\nby Bill Sullivan \nDirected by Bill Sullivan and Niamh Fanning\nLorca Theatre Company\, an inclusive and friendly theatre group that welcomes all comers whatever their level of acting experience\, is bringing their annual production to Cork Arts Theatre this year. The Coláiste Éamann Rís-based Cork company is staging a two-hour show of two one act plays – Shakespeare’s Macbeth & Romero – which highlight the threats and pitfalls of authoritarian rule. \nFirst on the bill is ‘Shakespeare’s Macbeth’: ‘A Macho ‘Macbeth!’ A Feminist ‘Macbeth!’ A ‘Macbeth Like No Other.’ This radical adaptation of the classic shines a new light on the great tragedy; featuring ambitious and power-hungry Macbeth\, the driven Lady Macbeth\, and the manipulative witches working behind the scenes\, humanised and portrayed here as deeply wronged women seeking revenge on all ‘men of power’. \nThe second one act play ‘Romero’\, written by Lorca’s artistic director Bill Sullivan\, is set in El Salvador in the 1970s.Three young Salvadoran women are swept up in the bloody events surrounding the assassination of Archbishop Oscar Romero – Ana who has fallen in love with young priest Pedro Morales; Elena\, married to a young and handsome army officer\, Raul Ortega; and Rita whose husband Carolos Rodriguez works in military intelligence. As Ana fears losing her love to the Church\, Elena grapples with the realisation of the persecution inflicted on the poor of El Salvador by the military junta\, and Rita is ordered by her husband to cut all contact with supporters of Archbishop Romero. The personal conflicts play out against a turbulent political background as the play builds to a powerful climax in the Cathedral of San Salvador. \nAdaptation of ‘Shakespeare’s Macbeth’- Bill Sullivan and Tom Abernethy.\nAssistant\, Deputy Director – Niamh Fanning.\nSound and Lighting – Ayomide Ajani and Jamie Morris. \nRunning time: 2 hours\nAge recommendation: 12+\, under 12’s accompanied\nTrigger Warnings:  some violent action and language. \nTickets: €15 \n*Booking fees apply. \nBOOK TICKETS\n
