| THE CORKTOWN MAN
in story and song The story of the Corktown Man is set in an area of southern Ontario, Canada to which many Irish came during the early to mid 1800s. The action takes place prior to and during the week leading to the July 1st celebrations of 1867, marking the birth of Canadian Confederation. It is the story of the love between an Irish born, Canadian lad and an unusually gifted local girl, a singing contest and the tavern of an inn, where a long-suffering separation between them comes to a dramatic and happy end. Through lively narrative, music and song, travel back to a time when Irish men and women, having left their native soil due to poverty, oppression and starvation, were establishing new lives and helping to build new communities in a new land. It was a time and place that offered freedom and opportunity, but which also had its challenges and dangers. A time and place in which a caring community and the celebration of the birth of ‘a new northern nation’ helped reunite two young lovers and created lasting bonds between two countries. The performance includes many traditional Canadian and Irish tunes of the era, as well as others more recently written and included in the story. ‘The Corktown Man’ is performed by Irish born, Canadian actor/writer Mark Finnan, Canadian traditional musicians/singers Glen Caradus and John Hoffman | |
