Futureproof, a magical play by Lynda Radley about identity and the capacities of the human spirit presented by the Everyman, in association with Cork Midsummer Festival and Project Arts Centre, present the Irish première of, opening at Cork Midsummer Festival 2017.
​
Meet the freaks of Riley’s Odditorium: George/Georgina, a hermaphrodite; Countess Marketa, an armless bearded lady; Tiny, the world's fattest man; Millie and Lillie, the Siamese twins and Serena the mermaid. This travelling freak show is nearing the end of the road, with fewer and fewer people buying tickets to the show. Futureproof is about their quest to find the answer to the age-old question of performance: how to give audiences what they want?
