Katty Barry:
Queen of The Coal Quay
DoonShee
DoonShee presents a staged online performance of Katty Barry, Queen of The Coal Quay, written and directed by Marion Wyatt with an original score composed by Jimmy Brockie.
Katty Barry, Queen of The Coal Quay is a new play from the creator of Dockers, Shawlies, When We Were Young, On Albert Road and The Sunbeam Girls. This new play celebrates the life and times of Katty Barry.
The play was written with the support of Miss Barry’s family. All characters are fictitious, with the exception of Katty.
Katty Barry, who was a legend in her own time, ran an eating house in D’Alton’s Avenue, just off Cornmarket Street, Cork.
Katty Barry's was frequented by peers and paupers alike, and all were treated the same, with nightly songs and stories.
Katty Barry served alcohol, often late at night, despite having no licence, and being repeatedly fined.
