'Young Offenders' Star Brings His Own Play To The Everyman
By: Stephi Wild Jun. 19, 2018
Fresh from his acclaimed performance as Billy Murphy in the TV series The Young Offenders and the feature film of the same name which preceded it, Shane Casey returns to the stage in a play he has also written.
WET PAINT will run at the Everyman Cork from Monday 25th June for six performances only.
It's 2005 - the country is booming. Jambons are at an alltime high at €2. That blind opera singer guy is coming to Cork as part of the European Capital of Culture thing and tickets are impossible to find.
Inspired by his time as a painter decorator himself, Shane Casey's hilarious play depicts a day-in-the-life of two Cork painters and their boss during the Celtic Tiger era, when anything was possible-at least inside your head.
Shane Casey is one of Cork's most prolific actors. He had huge success in the play LOVE PEACE AND ROBBERY by Liam Heylin and was acclaimed for his performance in GOD BLESS THE CHILD, based on stories by Frank O'Connor, which toured the country constantly over a two year period.
The play also features actors Michael Sands and Tommy Harris and is directed by Patrick Talbot.
Tickets €27, concession €25 and students €9, are available from the Everyman box office, or online at everymancork.com
