Deep

Its the Summer of 1988 and Cork's emigration generation are following the beat... in perfect time for a new club night starting at Sir Henrys - SWEAT.

Mimic

Synopsis:
Mimic is the modern story of Julian Neary, whose childhood gift for mimicry - from Columbo and Jimmy Stewart to Billie Holiday and Morrissey - becomes his ticket out of 1980s Ireland. He leaves for America, returning only years later on a journey of rediscovery to find a country much changed. Writer-performer Raymond Scannell takes the audience on a moving and mesmerizing journey, exploring imitation, authenticity, and what happens to a nation that leaves its heritage behind.
