This year for the Cork Midsummer Festival, Corcadorca brings contemporary Russia to the Savoy nightclub. Plasticine was first produced at the Royal Court in 2002, and garnered the ‘Most Promising Playwright Award’ for writer Vassily Sigarev in the London Theatre Awards. Focusing on the life of teenage protagonist, Maksim, Sigarev’s play exposes a world rife with corruption, violence and anarchy.
This promenade production by Corcadorca, which is the Irish premiere of Plasticine, promises to bring the audience on a riveting and explosive journey.

“Pat Kiernan directs this visually superb and intellectually thought provoking presentation … a stunningly successful vision” Sunday Independent
