VERA&SON by Patrick Talbot to be Presented at Cork Arts Theatre

Inspired by Patrick Talbot's own mother, VERA&SON is a funny and poignant portrait of a mother and a son, and tells a story many will identify with. The mother passes away and spends a night back in her old house. After the family, and friends, and neighbours disperse, the son finds himself alone in the room with the coffin. What does he do? What else can be do? He chats to his mother.

VERA&SON looks at the unique relationship between a mother and son over a number of decades, set against the Ireland of the 1960s and 70s and beyond. VERA&SON is a funny and moving portrait of a larger than life woman whose resourcefulness, and quick humour, are utterly integral to the welfare and survival of the family around her. Featuring two of Cork's finest actors, Fionula Linehan and Michael Sands, Set Design is by Jim Queally, Lighting by Jamie Fehily, Costumes by Jessica Healy and Sound & Projection by Cormac O'Connnor. Fionula last worked with Patrick Talbot in his production of the Declan Hassett play SISTERS and Michael appeared in his production of WET PAINT by Shane Casey.
