The Wisdom of Eve
鈥淔asten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night鈥�
After their hugely successful show 鈥淟et鈥檚 Go To The Movies鈥� in the Aula Maxima in April, The UCC Players were delighted to be back on stage at the Cork Arts Theatre with their production of 鈥淭he Wisdom of Eve鈥� by Mary Orr.
Shy, sincere and conscientious, Eve Harrington鈥檚 dream is realised when she is taken on as a personal secretary by her actress idol, Margo Crane. However, Eve's seemingly innocent and devoted demeanour masks her true intentions鈥� to usurp Margo's position in the theatre world and become the new reigning star. The story unfolds through a series of betrayals, deceptions, and manipulations highlighting the cutthroat nature of the entertainment industry and the complexities of human relationships.
Adapted from the short story by the author, the story provided the basis for the Academy Award winning classic film 鈥淎ll About Eve鈥� (starring Bette Davis and Anne Baxter) and the hit musical 鈥淎辫辫濒补耻蝉别鈥�.
