The Beacon by Nancy Harris
Cork City, Co. Cork
4 July - 19 July 2025
Written by prolific BAFTA-nominated playwright and screenwriter, Nancy Harris, The Beacon is a thrilling and darkly funny family drama that asks can we ever really know the truth of a thing – a person, a place or a work of art?

“I’ve nothing to hide”

Beiv, a celebrated feminist artist, is renovating a house on an island in West Cork.

Her ex-husband died in mysterious circumstances a decade ago and the body was never found.

Colm, her estranged son, has returned from San Francisco with his new wife looking for answers, but must confront secrets from his own past.

As rumours and gossip swirl, a defiant Beiv shines brightly in her glass house overlooking the wild Atlantic Sea. A deep, dark family mystery about family, sexuality and the subjectivity of art.

First commissioned by Druid in 2019, and recently produced by the Irish Rep in New York, The Everyman is proud to produce this major new revival for its long-awaited Cork premiere.
