JILLY MORGAN'S BIRTHDAY PARTY to be Presented at The Everyman
The performance will take place on September 30.
Following a sold-out premiere in Limerick, Jilly Morgan’s Birthday Party, a darkly funny and emotionally resonant new Irish play will tour to The Everyman, Cork on Tuesday 30th September.
Written by Limerick playwright Liam McCarthy and directed by Joan Sheehy, the play follows Jack, whose brief, passionate kiss in the downstairs toilet at a party in Limerick City in 1983 becomes a moment he can never forget. Spanning four decades of longing, memory, and regret, Jilly Morgan’s Birthday Party is a powerful exploration of how one fleeting moment can echo across a lifetime.
This compelling two-hander is driven by Pat Ryan (as Jack) and Georgina Miller (as Kate), whose performances have been widely praised for their emotional depth and chemistry. Their nuanced portrayals bring warmth, wit, and complexity to a story that moves fluidly through time and memory.
Inspired by Chekhov’s The Kiss, the play reimagines the story with modern theatricality, weaving humour and poignancy into a rich portrait of obsession, change, and the stories we cling to.
