embracing the chaos...Seven directors. Three counties. One company.
BrokenCrow is a place where six artistic directors come to play, learn and collaborate. We are writers, designers, performers and stage directors. BrokenCrow is a place for us to support and challenge each other. It is a place for new ideas to be nurtured, developed. It is an ambitious production company fueled by the joy and possibilities of collaboration.
We aim to create work that is not only as diverse as our members but professional, audience focused and creatively ambitious.
BrokenCrow Theatre Company is Deirdre Dwyer, Ronan FitzGibbon, George Hanover, Gavin McEntee, Rosie O’Regan and Aideen Wylde. We have staged eleven productions since being established in 2011 and have plenty more on the way. We have directors based in Cork, Waterford, Limerick and Dublin. We are very grateful to TDC Corcadorca, Graffiti, Spraoi, Rough Magic, the Everyman, Garter Lane, A Little Room TDC and Fringe Lab for their continued support.
Blackwater Babble
@ the Cork Midsummer Festival
What makes a good singsong? What makes a great one? This is a story of forty Summers spent trying to answer that question. Forty Summers of rowing down the Blackwater river stopping in every pub along the way. Every noble call. Every session. Every maudlin ballad that killed a night and every table-thumping favourite that saved one!
With John McCarthy and Gary Murphy. Written by Ronan FitzGibbon. Directed by Joe Meagher and
Produced by Sadhbh Barrett-Coakley
Our most recent production was a sell out at the glorious Callanans in Cork City Centre!
