Blood+Bandage is a new festival designed to support and foster new plays and new forms of theatre emerging in Cork. Based in the Granary Theatre, this first annual festival features work by Meridian, Granary Theatre and Be Your Own Banana and showcases three Cork pieces developed in the city in the past two years.

In addition to the productions, the festival will also include workshops and readings of works in progress. These will continue after the festival with the intention of developing projects for future festivals.
