POOL (NO WATER) by Mark Ravenhill Will Come to Cork in June

The Everyman, is association with Cork Midsummer Festival and The Metropole Hotel, will present Pool (No Water) by playwright Mark Ravenhill.

A group of artists, an exciting trip abroad, an event that distorts everything.  Pool (No Water) is a shocking and savage play about friendship, ambition, jealousy and art. 

Staged in an empty swimming pool beneath The Metropole Hotel, this new production of Mark Ravenhill’s 2006 play blurs the boundaries between installation, physical theatre and live art. 

Directed by The Everyman’s Artistic Director Des Kennedy, with movement by internationally acclaimed Cork choreographer Luke Murphy, the production stars Evanna Lynch in the leading role.

Mark Ravenhill is one of Britain’s leading contemporary playwrights. His other work includes the plays Shopping and F**cking, Some Explicit Polaroids and Shoot/Get Treasure/Repeat.

Pool (No Water) will run from Friday 12th – Saturday 27th June.
