Sweet Pang is Innocent. But don't tell the judge! She has been a madam, transvestite, pole dancer, rapper, and believer in lies. A prankster heart beating rivers of gold. She'll wink, sigh, and wink again, then you realize you've stopped thinking- start... and miss her sigh. Upside-down, Pang sings. Hear Pang tap! Hear Pang's rap! Will she fool the judge? Can she convince him that she's kissed and cut-as cursed and bled as them all? Who is Sweet Pang, and what drove her to assume these aliases?
Sweet Pang, Sweet Pang, who is in your dream gang?
Performed by Lady Grew More

In this production from Dog and String Theatre, two stories intertwine.The Old Woman in the Vinegar Bottle and Cinderella. Storytelling, life size puppets, animated objects and shadow play are used to investigate the way in which our inner vision creates the world around us.
It takes the audience on a journey of locations involving an obliging fairy and a rather sour old woman. Azal the Artist weaves these two narratives together as he draws what he sees on the shadow screen. His artistic skills transform the everyday objects into characters that come to life and tell their own story. Cinderella is told by the fairy godmother herself incorporating real magic and puppetry. With extra help from the audience her dreams can be realized. Wishe More

Comprising a multidisciplinary company of calibre artists drawn from the professional and local community sectors, and led by multi-award winning soprano Cara O'Sullivan, Pagliacci at the Everyman will be a unique and exciting staging of Leoncavallo's classic commedia opera.
'If music be the food of love, play on…' Cork and music are rightfully wed; hence musical drama is going to become a regular feature at the Everyman.
