Corcadorca, famed for staging spectacular theatre in unusual locations, brings The Hairy Ape by Pulitzer prize winner Eugene O’Neill to Cork’s Docklands.

For the past four years, Corcadorca’s shows for the Midsummer Festival have completely sold out, and have twice been nominated for Best Production in the Irish Times Theatre Awards. (Woyzeck at Ireland’s Naval Base in Haulbowline last June, and their multi-location production of The Merchant of Venice in 2005.)

This year, Corcadorca will create the setting for the eight scenes of The Hairy Ape within a series of warehouses. It will be a highly visual promenade production.

O’Neill, considered one of America’s greatest playwrights, was awarded 4 Pulitzer prizes, as well as the Nobel prize for literature. This is the first time The Hairy Ape has been staged in Ireland.

On Woyzek (2007):

“Corcadorca once again opened our eyes to the true possibilities of theatre” The Irish Examiner

“Not just a play: an experience” The Irish Times
