Playwright Enda Walsh
The Corcadorca theatre company in Cork celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, and to mark the occasion, they’re hosting a world premiere in a most unusual location.

Corcadorca Theatre Company are to premiére a brand new work by multi-award winning playwright, Enda Walsh. Commissioned to mark the renowned company’s 25th anniversary, The Same will open in Cork on February 13th. The venue for this site-specific production is the old Cork prison premises on Rathmore Road, where it will run for two weeks, until February 25th. Having closed as a working prison in early 2016, this will be the first production to be held behind these previously locked doors.
Enda Walsh has a long association with Corcadorca and this two-woman show, directed by Pat Kiernan, sees sisters Catherine and Eileen Walsh cast alongside each other for the first time. When two women meet for the first time, they gradually realise their connection to each other…
I love his plays, bit of a trek but sure could maybe make a weekend out of it.
Feel free to come with me :-)
(I’m so lonely)
What should I pack, formal or casual?
Will I need my jimmy jams?
You should wear some Tweed and a cravat for your evening of culture.
I suppose jim jams will depend on whether you’ll bring Mildred or whether you’ll try to find some local girl.
I’ll bring my tweed pyjamas, cover all eventualities.
Hmmmm…. itchy…..
Mildred is growing her nails especially.
JIMMYJAMES is going too?
Yes, he’s compiling a mixtape as we speak.
