The Irish Canon (abridged) 10 plays, 70 characters, 3 actors, 1 hour
BACK WITH A BANG!
At the Half Moon Theatre, Cork

The Irish Canon had a hugely successful summer run in the Half Moon Theatre, Cork Midsummer Festival’s Spiegeltent, and at Spraoi in the Park, Waterford. Now it returns with a bang for those of you who missed it!

Three actors hurtle through ten of the most famous Irish plays ever written whipping through over 70 characters in a show that’s crammed with culture, comedy and hilarious hysterics.

In a jam-packed hour, the Half Moon stage will come alive with Irish figures who have dominated theatrical circles for over a century. Cathleen Ni Houlihan, Christy Mahon, Bessie Burgess, the Bull Maccabe and many more grace the stage in quick succession, running breathlessly through iconic Irish theatre of over one hundred years, unfurling into comic chaos.

Completely and unashamedly abridged, watch The Irish Canon, flash before your eyes dragging Irish plays kicking and screaming into the future. This multi-headed parody is filled with oodles of imagination and a knock-about sense of fun, it’s a rip-roaring improvisational hour of theatre!

It’s back, it’s bigger and better than ever and it’s most certainly not to be missed!
