Praise from Irish Times!

Mary Leland writes today, as seen on the great new free online Irish Times… :

“…WHILE THIS YEAR’S drama strand had a touch of Dutch exteriors (Sensazione, Robodock, Braakland , Victoria) it might also cause Cork City Council to consider a heavier investment in the festival, given the way in which locations emerge as immense theatrical opportunities which, as with Hammergrin’s impressively staged presentation of K: the Iowa Project at the Old Distillery, reveal unusual, historic or otherwise fascinatingaspects of the urban landscape. Big productions like [Hammergrin/Corcadorca]… take on extra dimensions, almost an extra significance,from such revelations, as a place becomes a landscape, a site expands into a vista and grim old structures loom into lovely, forgotten perspectives……”
