So the 2010 Cork Midsummer Festival has come to an end! We had a fantastic and fun 16 days. We had so many favorites here at the office: the beautiful, unique and surprising 2 Dimensional Life of Her left the public wanting more and led to an extended run; Panti & Heidi Konnt at the Crane Lane Theatre defied traditional expectations of drag shows being irreverent, relatable and moving; Broken Croí – Heart Briste at the Cork Arts Theatre was a humorous and inspiring exploration of the struggles with our native tongue. Thank you for making Mike Daisy’s (the festival’s thinker in residence) run at the Half Moon Theatre such a success with sell out performances of Monopoly!, The Last Cargo Cult and From Away. The good news is if you missed him at the festival you can catch him performing From Away at both Clonmel’s Junction Festival and Earagail Arts Festival, Donegal

The cast and crew of FML are heading out on a Summer European Tour after the success of the run at Everyman Palace Theatre. First stop a performance on July 9 at Byre Theatre, St Andrews, Fife in Scotland. Then to the ICA in London to perform as part of LIFT from Wednesday 14 July to Saturday 17 July. Next stop Helsinki, Finland performing at the Kiasma Theatre as part of URB Festival on the 30 and 31 July. The final stop of the Summer will take place at Noorderzon Performing Arts Festival in Groningen, Holland from the 19 to 21 August. More tour dates will be announced shortly.

Thank you for making this years festival the success it was!

Stay tuned for news on 2011…
