CITY

John McCarthy’s virtuosic solo work articulates a unique language of buildings, in a story of a city told from the inside out. In “City” McCarthy uses the inner logic and pathology of microprocessor circuitry to trace the stories of fourteen intersecting streets, three time periods and a stretch of bog in the Midlands, to trace the stories contained in the buildings that collectively add up to a bristlingly real city. McCarthy, who got a Best Supporting Actor nomination in the 2019 Irish Times Theatre Awards for his role in “The Lonesome West,” is also the author of “The Bellevue.” This is his (and Everyman’s) 1st Irish debut.
