Cast Announced for Irish Premiere of FUTUREPROOF
Futureproof reunites writer Lynda Radley and director Tom Creed, in their old stomping ground, Cork, to give this magical play a stunning new production in its Irish première, featuring an emsemble of Ireland's most accomplished actors: Gerard Byrne, Amy Conroy, Michael Glenn Murphy, Gillian McCarthy, Gina Moxley and Julie Sharkey. The initial cast announcement included Schull native Ayoola Smart as Serena the mermaid; however, due to an unfortunate accident, Ayoola will no longer be able to take the role, and Karen McCartney will now take her place.
During its award-winning first run in Scotland in 2011, Futureproof asks us to think about the struggle for self-hood and bodily autonomy, a theme which continues to have relevance in Ireland today.
See it first during the Cork Midsummer Festival at the Everyman: Previews 8pm, Tuesday 13th to Thursday 15th June, show running from Friday 16th, Saturday 17th, Tuesday 20th to Saturday 24th June at 8pm; then the travelling weirdoes visit the Project Arts Centre from Tuesday 27th June - Saturday 1st July at 7.30pm. Tickets on sale now, book early to avoid disappointment. www.everymancork.com / www.projectartscentre.ie.
