Celebrated Cork singer-songwriter Mick Flannery, writer Ursula Rani Sarma, and director Annabelle Comyn, will transform Flannery’s acclaimed concept album, Evening Train, into a stunning new musical, premiering at the Cork Midsummer Festival this June.
In the story of Evening Train, we meet Grace, who dreams of a new life far away from her hometown, as she waits for Luther. He’s late. Again. Elsewhere in town, bartender Frank surrenders yet another pay check to cover his reckless brother’s gambling debts, while Luther promises Grace that by Christmas, he’ll have made enough money to get them out of town. Before long, a high stakes game is underway, in which everyone is a player, whether they like it or not.
With a phenomenal cast of Irish actors and a live band that will include Mick Flannery, Evening Train will be an unmissable night at the theatre.
