COSIMA
by Sheena Lambert
‘Cosima Wagner had about as interesting a life as anyone who didn’t found a religion or personally lead an invasion of a foreign empire’
Philip Hensher, Telegraph (2010)
Wife of Richard, daughter of Liszt, but Cosima Wagner was so much more.
Sassy, driven and passionate, she had her own ambitions and refused to be a victim of her era.
Now, it’s Cosima’s time to tell the world who Cosima Wagner really was.
After sell-out runs and rave reviews, Cosima comes to Bewley’s Café Theatre presenting Mary Murray’s electric performance, breathing new life into this powerful woman and placing her firmly centre stage.
