Sophie Motley named Artistic Director of Everyman, Cork

Rough Magic is delighted that our SEEDS graduate and former Associate Director Sophie Motley has just been announced as Artistic Director of the Everyman Theatre in Cork. We congratulate Sophie and the Everyman on a brilliant appointment and wish them the very best in building on the great achievements of Julie Kelleher. A great start to 2021 as we anticipate the post-Covid world; we look forward to many collaborations and a bright future for Irish theatre.

Sophie joins Cian O’Brien and Matt Torney in heading major theatre organisations – Cian at Project in Dublin, and Matt at Theatrical Outfit in Atlanta, Georgia. All are ex-SEEDS and Associates of Rough Magic, and we are immensely proud of them and their artistic leadership.
