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

SUMMARY:The Scent of a Mock Orange
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday 8th to Saturday 11th April @ 8pm\nsassyCOW presents\nThe Scent of a Mock Orange\nWritten by Ciara Ní Tuathaigh\nDirected by Sinéad Crowley\nThe Scent of a Mock Orange is a raw\, intimate\, and darkly humorous one-woman show that invites audiences into the fractured inner world of Mara\, a young woman attempting to make sense of the emotional wreckage she has carried for over a decade. Haunted by the unresolved grief of her mother’s suicide\, Mara has learned to survive by moving quickly\, speaking sharply\, and never pausing long enough for the truth to catch up with her. But when her chaotic life begins to crack\, she is forced to confront the revelations and realities that she can no longer outrun. \nThrough a blend of sharp storytelling\, confessional monologue\, and moments of startling vulnerability\, Mara retraces the chaos of her past — the relationships she has broken and the boundaries she has blurred. As she unpacks the tangled threads of grief and addiction\, she begins to ask questions she has spent years avoiding: Where does longing end and self-destruction begin? What happens when the body becomes both refuge and battlefield? And who do we become when\, or if\, we finally allow ourselves to stop running? \nWritten and performed by Ciara Ní Tuathaigh and directed by Sinéad Crowley\, The Scent of a Mock Orange premiered at Cork Fringe 2025\, where its blend of grit\, candour\, and dark humour struck a deep chord with audiences. The debut production of sassyCOW Productions\, this female-led company is committed to amplifying the complicated\, unvarnished realities of contemporary womanhood. This is not a story of neat resolutions — Mara ends where she began\, circling her own unrest. What remains is her mess — haunting\, human\, and impossible to shake. \n“Sensational! A seamless blend of light and shade\, heart and humour. You’ll find yourself thinking about Mara and her beautiful messiness long after the curtain falls\, hoping she’ll be alright. An absolute must-see” – Rosie O’Byrne\, La Vie en Rosie \nA post-show discussion will take place after the Thursday night performance. \nRunning time: 1h 45min | 15 minute interval\nAge recommendation: 18+\nTrigger Warnings:  Partial nudity\, sexual content\, mentions or depictions of sexual violence/assault\, suicide and depression\, drug use and substance abuse\, alcohol consumption and misuse\, strong/explicit language. \nTicket Prices: €20\, €15 conc.\n*Booking fees apply. \nBOOK TICKETS

SUMMARY:Replica
DESCRIPTION:Friday 17th and Saturday 18th April @ 7.30pm\nplus Matinee Saturday 18th @ 2.30pm\n\nMontfort College of Performing Arts presents\nReplica\n\nby Titas Halder\nSomething happened on the school trip. One of the class has been replaced by an exact replica of themselves. At least that’s what everyone’s saying. Once a rumour starts\, it can be difficult to remember what is real – or who. Convinced that there is an impostor walking among them\, a group of teenagers is determined to root out the intruder. A mystery about friendship\, the nature of truth and humanity. When it comes to it\, how do you prove that you are a human? \n********* \nIn September 2022 the Montfort College of Performing Arts established a senior drama company class under the direction of Sinéad Crowley. The work of the students culminates in a fully staged play which allows them to put to use all the skills developed over the course of the year. The students have appeared in three acclaimed pieces to date: ‘The Boy Preference’ (2023)\, ‘Old Times’ (2024)\, and ‘Heavy Weather’ (2025). They are delighted to present ‘Replica’ in 2026! \nDirector: Sinéad Crowley \nTickets: €15\, €12 concession for students\n*Booking fees apply. \nBOOK TICKETS\n
