The iconic Theatre for One booth returns to Emmet Place as part of Cork Midsummer Festival, with a very special instalment for 2025.

Part confessional, part peep-show booth – these 5 minute plays are performed by one actor for one audience member at a time in a purpose-built booth as part of Cork Midsummer Festival 2025.

Step inside for an experience that is completely visceral and uniquely intimate.

This year focuses on the voices and stories of Cork. Theatre for One: Made in Cork features new short plays by six hugely exciting writers – Cónal Creedon, Katie Holly, John McCarthy, Michael John McCarthy, Gina Moxley and Louise O’Neill.

Conceived and created by the Olivier and Tony Award- winning theatre-maker Christine Jones, and constructed by LOT-EK architects, each original 5-minute play is written specifically for this unique venue.

Free of charge – no tickets required – just join the queue.
