To The Lighthouse review: A gloriously ambitious and inventive production at Cork Midsummer Fest Marina Carr's adaptation of Virginia Woolf’s modernist masterpiece combined film and theatre Declan Conlon and Aoife Duffin in To The Lighthouse at the Everyman. Picture Darragh Kane Sun, 27 Jun, 2021 - 21:05 Marjorie Brennan “What is the meaning of life?” asks Lily Briscoe in To The Lighthouse. It may be, as she says, a “simple question” but it is one that underpins this profound meditation on life, love, loss, the meaning of art and the role of a woman in society. This adaptation of Virginia Woolf’s modernist masterpiece by Marina Carr is a hybrid of film and theatre, a world premiere recorded on The Everyman Stage as part of the Cork Midsummer Festival. What it lacks in immediacy in terms of a live streamed performance, it gains in terms of creative latitude, with director Annabelle Comyn bringing her distinctive and inventive vision to the production.
