The Irish Canon (abridged) at Cork Opera House

ITSA Theatre Company Presents

The Irish Canon (abridged)
10 plays, 70 characters, 3 actors, 1 hour

Scripted and directed by Laura Harte

From the crazy folks that brought you the hugely successful Improvised Panto last December, ITSA Theatre Company returns with the hilarious The Irish Canon (abridged).

Three actors hurtle through ten of the most famous Irish plays ever written whipping through over 70 characters in a show that’s crammed with culture, comedy and hilarious hysterics.
In a jam-packed hour, the Half Moon will come alive with Irish figures who have dominated theatrical circles for over a century. Cathleen Ni Houlihan, Christy Mahon, Bessie Burgess, the Bull Maccabe and many more grace the stage in quick succession, running breathlessly through iconic Irish theatre of over one hundred years, unfurling into comic chaos.

Completely and unashamedly abridged, watch The Irish Canon, flash before your eyes dragging Irish plays kicking and screaming into the future. It must be seen to be believed and features the cream of Cork actors.

ITSA Theatre Company is delighted to present the locals in this culturally soaked county a rip-roaring improvisational hour of theatre. It’s back, it’s bigger and better than ever and it’s most certainly not to be missed!

An engaging successful piece of comedy
