The Second Woman starring Eileen Walsh - Cork Midsummer Festival 2025

Описание: From creator's Nat Randall & Anna Breckon: One Woman. One Scene. One Hundred Times. One 24-Hour Performance - starring Eileen Walsh.

Your only chance to experience this unique and unmissable, theatrical marathon at Cork Opera House, 24 hours from 4pm Saturday 14 June – 4pm Sunday 15 June!

Eileen Walsh, one of Ireland’s most celebrated and recognised actors, will star in The Second Woman, an internationally acclaimed feat of thrilling theatre and live cinema.

Over 24 hours, 100 different men will star opposite Eileen Walsh, as she performs over and over a scene between a man and a woman in a relationship that has lost its creativity and romance. They talk, they laugh, it’s awkward, it’s funny. None of the 100 Marty’s will have rehearsed with Eileen Walsh’s Virginia prior to the performance and most of whom are non-actors.

Inspired by John Cassavetes’ film Opening Night, created by an all-female team who capture and mix the action live from five simultaneously recording cameras. At the conclusion of each scene a decision must be made. The wait for what comes next becomes more addictive than any binge-worthy TV series.

Audiences can purchase tickets for the full 24 hours or join us at scheduled entry times throughout the performance – and stay for as long as they like until the performance ends at 4pm, Sunday 15 June. Food and drink will be available throughout the 24 hours at Cork Opera House.
