Cork Midsummer Festival and Cork Opera House present Anna Breckon and Nat Randall’s The Second Woman

Cork Opera House, Emmet Place, Cork

Sat 14 Jun 2025
4pm
€55.00



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 Martys will have rehearsed with Eileen Walsh’s Virginia prior to the performance and most of them will be non-actors.

Inspired by John Cassavetes’ film Opening Night, created by an all-female team who capture and mix the sound 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
