'Equus'
LONDON CLASSIC THEATRE PRESENTS “EQUUS” AT THE EVERYMAN PALACE
Since its first production at the National Theatre in London in 1973, Peter Shaffer’s “Equus” has continued to be produced, to great acclaim, throughout the world: Daniel Radcliffe received a “Best Actor” award for his portrayal of Alan Strang in 2009 and that production also received two Tony Awards that same year. Now local audiences get an opportunity to see this modern masterpiece when London Classic Theatre’s touring production opens on Wednesday February 8th and runs until February 18th at the Everyman Palace Theatre, Cork.
Inspired by a true story, Peter Shaffer's unique psychological thriller explores the complex relationships between worship, myth and sexuality. In a Hampshire stable, a youth blinds six horses with a metal spike. Convicted of this appalling crime, seventeen-year-old Alan Strang is sent to a secure psychiatric hospital. Martin Dysart, the child psychiatrist assigned to him, begins to probe Alan’s past in an attempt to understand his motives. Initially the boy is silent and uncooperative, but as Dysart digs deeper, he begins to win Alan’s trust and the truth gradually emerges. Finally, as Alan struggles to be free of his demons, he must relive the events of that terrible night.
Directed by Michael Cabot, the cast includes Carole Dance, Steve Dineen, Aidan Downing, Malcolm James, Anna Kirke, Jamie Matthewman, Matthew Pattimore, and Helen Phillips.
London Classic Theatre has performed to over 300,000 people at more than 150 theatres and arts centres around the UK and Ireland. The company, led by founder and Artistic Director Michael Cabot, produces challenging, accessible drama including Joe Orton, Harold Pinter and Brian Friel and they are frequent visitors to the Everyman Palace.

Rhinoceros
What happens when the citizens of a small town – bar one tardy and disaffected drop-out – begin transforming one by one into a herd of rampaging pachyderms? Will the louche Berenger manage to cling to the scraps of his humanity when the town Logician, the Grocer, the Humanist, the ubiquitous Old Lady and even his closest friend Jean, are sprouting horns and turning a distasteful shade of grey? You can only predict things after they have happened.

21~25 Feb
Mary Motorhead, By Mark O'Halloran.
After it’s sold-out and critically acclaimed run at Bewleys Café Theatre in Dublin, Galway based theatre company ‘Truewest’ are delighted to present ‘Mary Motorhead’ by the award-winning writer Mark O'Halloran (Garage, Adam and Paul), starring Cora Fenton
Using specially commissioned film, sound and music alongside Mark’s wonderfully poetic script and a passionate and studied performance from Cora Fenton, ‘Mary Motorhead’ will captivate and entertain its audience.
‘Mary Motorhead’ is in prison. She lies on her bed reading, while scenes of the outdoor world as seen from the window of a car are projected onto the wall behind her. She is doing six years for stabbing her husband, Red, in the head with a knife. History is invention, she tells us, a story made up based on sometimes scant knowledge of the available facts. Each of us has a known history and a secret one. The secret history, she explains, is what really happened – what was going on inside – something that regular history, or reportage, or maybe representation, can never really know. So, Mary invites us to hear her secret history, and in hearing it, we might understand why she stabbed her husband in the head.
TIME: 8pm

Doubt
Sister Aloysius, a Bronx school principal, takes matters into her own hands when she suspects the young Father Flynn of improper relations with one of the male students. John Patrick Shanley’s Pulitzer prize and Tony Award-winning drama ‘Doubt’ poses a troubling question: Is Father Flynn, the forward-looking Catholic priest doubling as a coach at the parish school, inappropriately involved with an eighth-grade boy? Or does that allegation spring from the suspicious mind of Sister Aloysius, an aging, dour disciplinarian void of gladness?
