Even during the pandemic, Corcadorca brought Contact, a travelling theatre performance, to greens and estates across the city.

“Collaborating with both emerging and established talent, we made outstanding work with Corcadorca and the Theatre Development Centre.” said Artistic Director Pat Kiernan.

“I’m particularly proud that we were part of the cultural fabric of Cork city. This year saw our production of The Same open in New York, Guests of the Nation in Cork, and we have just completed a run of The Spin in Longford, Dublin and Cork.”
