Following last summer’s sold out run in Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre, Imelda May will return as Kathleen Behan in a highly anticipated reprisal of Mother of All the Behans – coming to The Everyman in Cork from 30 July to 10 August 2024.

Adapted for the stage and directed by Peter Sheridan, the production is based on Brian Behan’s book chronicling the life of his ‘inspirational’ mother Kathleen. Inspired by the songs and story passed down through generations, the show is an exciting examination of the Behan family and the social history of Dublin.

“I’m thrilled to bring Mother of All The Behans to Cork!” said May. “I’m delighted to reprise my role of Brendan Behans extraordinary mother Kathleen in Peter Sheridans incredible one woman play Mother Of All the Behans. I cannot wait to bring this play to you all in Cork City. Trust me, you’ll love Kathleen as much as I do (even though we’re both Dubs!) See you there!”

Tickets can be purchased from €31 online at The Everyman, by phone at (021)450-1673, or by email at [email protected].
