A Storytelling performance from Kate Corkery
About this Event

When are we old enough to know better? How strong is a piece of string? Is seven really the age of reason when we are supposed to know right from wrong, and true from false?
In a village on the shore of Cork Harbour an only child struggles to make sense of the world. As the River Lee ebbs and flows nearby, regular
customers come and go to a small sweet shop that is at the heart of that community. The stories they share linger in her imagination and grow a life of their own.

Sweet Shop on The Shore is an autobiographical Storytelling performance by Kate Corkery. Originally commissioned for the 21st Festival at the Edge, it was later awarded ‘Outstanding Storytelling Performance of 2012’ by The British Awards for Storytelling Excellence.
