Last week, The Everyman launched its Spring Summer 2025 Season. With this season, we are launching EVERYMAN MADE: world-class theatre made by The Everyman for Cork and beyond. We are proud to announce four outstanding plays as part of our first EVERYMAN MADE season. MAKING HISTORY BY BRIAN FRIEL Directed by Des Kennedy   The Everyman is proud to present a major revival of Brian Friel’s masterpiece about resistance, revolution and the remaking of heroes. First performed by Field Day in 1988, the play follows Gaelic leader Hugh O’Neill in the events before and after the Battle of Kinsale and examines who gets to decide how history is recorded, told and retold. FRI 11–SAT 26 APR BOOK NOW ESCAPED ALONE BY CARYL CHURCHILL Directed by Annabelle Comyn   Hatch Theatre Company and The Everyman in association with Once Off Productions are delighted to present the Irish premiere of Caryl Churchill’s 2016 revolutionary play, Escaped Alone, as part of Cork Midsummer Festival. Intimate and vast, domestic and wild, Churchill’s vision presents a world hurtling towards its own destruction. Escaped Alone viciously satirises contemporary capitalist culture while it celebrates the (often unheard) voices and feelings of aging women, and the resilience it takes to survive 70 years. THU 12–SAT 14 JUN BOOK NOW HAPPY HOUR  Written and directed by Daniel Kramer   The Everyman is proud to present Daniel Kramer’s cabaret show Happy Hour as part of Cork Midsummer Festival. There will be games. There will be prizes. There will be booze, and there will be music. It’s Happy Hour! Come and enjoy some cabaret, theatre, carnival and cocktails at The Everyman. Spend an hour hearing some of today’s greatest pop tunes reimagined and some classics reinvented as three world-class cabaret performers take us on a wild ride of life in the age of capitalism. THU 19–SUN 22 JUN BOOK NOW THE BEACON BY NANCY HARRIS Directed by Sara Joyce Written by prolific BAFTA-nominated playwright and screenwriter, Nancy Harris (The Dry), The Beacon is a thrilling and darkly funny family drama that asks can we ever really know the truth of a thing – a person, a place or a work of art? And if we could, would we want to? First commissioned by Druid in 2019, and recently produced by the Irish Rep in New York, The Everyman is proud to produce this major new revival for its long-awaited Cork premiere.
