Held
part of cork midsummer festival
By Adrian Howells. A one-on-one performance that takes place across 3
domestic spaces - first in a kitchen where he offers a hand as well
as tea, then the lounge where he puts his arm around you as you watch
TV or listen to music and finally the bedroom where you lie together
for 30 minutes. Evoking both the fleeting comfort of one-night stands
and the sometimes stifling atmosphere of long-term relationships,
Held encourages us to think about how much the simple act of touching
can say. Tickets: f15. Booking through Cork Midsummer Festival Box
Office 021 4274077. A residential house in Shandon.

The Cleansing of Constance Brown
part of cork midsummer festival
A piece of visual theatre from the company that created the Cork
Midsummer Festival hit of 2006, Of All The People In All The World,
in which 6 tonnes of rice were used to bring world statistics to
life. Constance Brown has lived in many different countries in many
different ages, as a ruler and as a servant, a legend and a code
word. Her cleansing has been a religious, psychic or medical
imperative; it has been a domestic chore, a personal ablution, a
fragment of a genocide. In just sixty minutes you will be taken
around the world and back in time as a witness to her story. This
installation performance is set in a specially constructed corridor
and plays to an audience of just twenty people at a time. Expect a
beautiful, charged, episodic show full of ghosts, where the walls
aren’t stable and the floor appears to shift beneath your feet.
6.30pm & 9pm (no show on Sunday). Tickets: f20/15. Box Office: 021
4904275. Granary Theatre, Mardyke.

Lehár internationally famous. This will be a Young Artists’

collaborator with the American forces, the other refuses to be. But,
despite their different allegiances, neither can escape Iraq’s bloody
present… Performed in Arabic with English surtitles. 8pm. Tickets:
