The production of Howie The Rookie which recently finished in the Granary Theatre, Cork is being taken over by Clinic Media and will be going to Waterford. We play the Granary again as part of the Imagine Arts Festival. Anyone who missed it in Cork should come along as it looking set to be even better this time around. Book early as this venue only holds 75 people a night.
Review Howie The Rookie Granary Theatre
Two monologues on either side of an interval might not be everyone’s idea of a good play, but this one works well - not least because of the quality of the production it gets in the Granary.
The only real pity about the enterprise is that such a small audience turned up to see it. The new talent on show deserves a warmer welcome in Cork over the next few nights.
Given that this was the first production in the latest New Directors’ Festival at the Granary, the most noteworthy thing about it was the top-drawer performance from Nick Kavanagh.
For a young actor it was an expertly modulated performance, flicking between characters at ease and finding an easy and assured tone over a 45-minute monologue.
Mark O’Rowe’s acclaimed play is like a film eagerly described from a barstool.
Director Eoin Ó hAnnracháin builds on the queasiness and intensity towards a slow release of tragic and twisted consequences.
The second monologue is given quite a convincing performance by Stephen McCann as his character’s story overlaps with Kavanagh’s.
It is the kind of play that could be sound-tracked to death but Ó hAnnracháin wisely lets the script make the music through the talents of the actors.
A new director could be forgiven for falling to the temptations of staging a production that draws attention to itself in all the worst ways by attaching all kinds of bells and whistles and directorial signatures. But the collective talents at work on this piece seem to be too cool to fall for that.
Good work, deserving a good audience.
Liam Heylin, Evening Echo, Thursday October 11th.
Howie The Rookie runs in the Granary Theater until Saturday the 13th of October.
