The Everyman in Cork presents Making History, directed by Des Kennedy. This production explores the life of Hugh O'Neill, Earl of Tyrone, against the backdrop of the Nine Year’s War and the Battle of Kinsale, effectively blending historical narrative with contemporary themes of nationalism and conflict. The role of Hugh O’Neill is uniquely portrayed by Aaron McCusker and Denis Conway, offering a dual perspective on this pivotal figure in Irish history. Friel's work invites reflection on the complexities of history and its relevance to modern times.
