New Directors Festival ‘07
In late 2006 the Granary initiated the New Directors Festival. Working
with four directors in their professional debut, the season was a
resounding success. Staging works from German, French and Irish
playwrights, the new directors shone in their vision and sparkled with
innovation. Because of their triumphs, we are able to continue this
festival on an annual basis now and we are indebted to them for this.

Howie the Rookie
written by Mark O’Rowe
directed by Eoin Ó hAnnracháin
Granary Theatre
8pm / 9 – 13 October
€10 / €5
Mark O’Rowe’s Howie The Rookie is a journey through a nightmare
Dublin, where enemies and allies are interchangeable, where the most
brutal events take on a mythic significance. The events of one evening
unfold through “baroque monologues climaxing in sudden, irresistible
bursts of mayhem.” - Jason Zinoman, New York Times

New Directors Festival ‘07
The Country

written by Martin Crimp
directed by Adam McElderry
Granary Theatre
8pm / 16 – 20 October
€10/€5
“The more you talk, the less you say.” Martin Crimp’s play is an
attack on the pastoral myth of the countryside as a place of harmony
and peace. Examining the darker sides of human relationships the play
exposes the layered meanings within everyday conversation. In this
play the audience plays the role of detective: we piece together the
plot from scattered clues in a world where nothing is as it first
seems.

New Directors Festival ‘07
Dusa, Fish, Stas & Vi
written by Pam Gems
directed and adapted by Sinéad Dunphy
Granary Theatre
8pm / 23 – 26 October
€10 / €5
The scene is an unpretentious Cork flat, where four young women, on
their own for various reasons, are thrown together. In a series of
revealing, inventive scenes, the four endeavour to help each other in
pulling their lives together and in finding the sense of purpose and
individuality, which can so easily elude people in contemporary
society.

New Directors Festival ‘07
The Small Things
written by Enda Walsh
directed by Olan Wrynn
Granary Theatre
8pm / 30 October – 3 November
€10 / €5
The Small Things is primarily about how we use language for ourselves,
to create the world about us, to communicate with others and sometimes
just to break the silence. It is a grizzly tale of violence and
imposed order, a tale of the steady silencing of the world. This, Enda
Walsh’s most abstract play, owes much to Beckett; it retains the
wonderful use of language for which, he is so renowned.

THE WORKING ACTORS’ WORKSHOP.

The Working Actors’ Workshop is a facility for working actors provided
by Cork based company, Theatre Makers Ltd.

It takes place every Wednesday afternoon at the Firkin Crane Arts
Centre and is a year in existence.

While it is not dismissive of any aspect of the workings of the
theatre, it proceeds on the assumption that the actors’ art is the
essential art of the theatre and undertakes to provide the development
of theatre art which has the actors’ art as its beginning point.

It strives to create a studio environment in which actors can proceed
immediately to the making of theatre art without necessarily being
enlisted into the process through the casting system.

It enjoyed success during the year with its Fast Theatre Events at the
Triskel Arts Centre and its production of They Never Froze Walt Disney
by workshop member Jody O’Neill during Cork’s Midsummer Festival.

If you strive to earn from acting and wish to enrol, email
theatremakers@gmail.com or call Jack on 086.0662705.
