The new Lift Festivals are programmed collaboratively with international artists and communities, engaging with the things that matter to us most; and at their heart is The Lift – a portable venue designed with hundreds of people.

THE TEMPEST Fitzgerald's Park, Cork, June 2006 Corcadorca Theatre Company Production


"Designer Roma Patel's embellishments are also strategic, 
with some playing areas mast-high, others cavernous, 
others again very wet; her attention to detail, as in the
 mitred edges of banners for the masque or in the 
midsummer   sweetness of the  croquet-lawn constantly 
rewarding the captivated audience."

 The above excerpt was taken from a review written by  Mary Leland, The Irish Times

Knock Against My Heart by Oladipo Agboluaje

A Theatre Centre Production - Touring throughout the UK, 18th September- Novemebr 2008

Set to the music and soul of Rio's favelas, Theatre Centre presents a thrilling new play inspired by The Tempest, developed in a unique collaboration with Brazil’s acclaimed theatre company Nós Do Morro.

"Although its content is clearly drawn from The Tempest, as a stand-alone tale, Knock Against My Heart is an imaginative, colourful, frequently dream-like yarn."
