Watch Ayoola Smart on stage in West Cork mystery ‘The Beacon’

“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.

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? And if we could, would we want to?

Watch L&C’s fantastic Ayoola Smart on stage in ‘The Beacon’ at The Everyman Cork until 19th July.
