We are delighted to announce that GOLL will come to Cork City in October 2026! Following the exciting and highly acclaimed premiere of the show in The Briery Gap in February, Strive Theatre & MacBóchra are delighted to partner with Cork Arts Theatre in bringing the show to Cork City for 5 performances from October 2nd to 4th.
Featuring elements of drama, dance, music, poetry, spectacle and folklore this dynamic performance centres on the life and stories of Ireland’s oldest seanchaí Fintan MacBóchra. Following three years of development, Strive Theatre & MacBóchra have adapted six narratives associated with Fintan into six thrilling, multi-lingual episodes of theatre…
“This experimental theatre experience combines music, dance, poetry and film to delight and surprise at every turn.” - Mikayli Dennehy, The Passage Between.
