One of Friel's best plays - and staged all too rarely (I last saw it in 1999 and still regret missing Denis Conway's company's site-specific versions of it around the country about 18 years ago). This new production looks great -worth travelling to Cork for!
Tickets for our electrifying new Everyman Made production of MAKING HISTORY by Brian Friel, directed by @ThatDesKennedy – are being snapped up, get yours at https://t.co/OBePbdhfDG! With thanks to @artscouncil_ie, @corkcitycouncil and @rte Supporting the Arts.
