BrokenCrow and The Everyman bring FOUND, Aideen Wylde’s new play, to Graffiti Theatre as part of Cork Midsummer Festival.
Bridget Jones meets Indiana Jones, with talking fish, in a joy-filled night of theatre, traditional storytelling and music directed by Julie Kelleher.
Eileen is lost. According to everyone else, her life is as beige as the back of a hand, so she hides in her headphones and lives quietly through other people’s stories. Auntie Breege has been laying on the pressure too – to get a husband. Any husband. So, when the mysterious disappearance of a dolphin, a celebrity folklorist and the quest to find the Almanac of Old Lost Land fall into her lap, Eileen is set on the ultimate voyage of self-discovery… whether she likes it or not!
Inspired by writer and performer Aideen Wylde’s deep connection to the province of Newfoundland, Canada – her ‘backwards genealogy’ – FOUND is a wild, and weirdly wonderful mishmash of traditions, from here and there, that make the Irish of both places ‘a people divided by time’.
BrokenCrow is a collective of six theatre artists – writers, actors, designers and directors – based in Cork, Waterford and Kilkenny, who work together to create high quality original work. Since inception, they have staged fifteen productions including previous works for Cork Midsummer Festival, Dark Kingdom and Blackwater Babble.
Supported by the Arts Council, with further support from The Everyman, Clonmel Junction Arts Festival, Cork Midsummer Festival and Garter Lane Arts Centre. https://everymancork.com/events/found-by-aideen-wylde/
