Award-winning filmmaker Ken O’Sullivan to share 'Stories from the Sea' at Cork's Everyman 

Over 25 years of award-winning filmmaker Ken O’Sullivan’s career exploring the North Atlantic ocean and seas around Ireland will be showcased at an upcoming show.

Stories from the Sea at The Everyman Theatre will feature a mix of film and personal stories from Ken, including being surrounded by a pod of killer whales, to swimming with thousands of dolphins and fin and blue whales, the largest animals ever to have lived.

Ken will share his insights into the beauty of the natural world and emotional connection humans have with it.

He also will pay homage to his family’s 250-year history on Fenit Island in Kerry and ancient maritime culture.

Ken has produced more than 20 natural history documentaries for RTÉ, with his last series North Atlantic acquired by the BBC and broadcast in more than 30 countries.

He also features alongside David Attenborough in BBC Earth’s Stunning Underwater Nature Footage, which has received seven million views on YouTube.

A spokesperson for The Everyman said: “Education and conservation have been at the heart of Ken’s work since 2005, long before it was popular to tell stories of damage and even devastation in natural history documentaries.

“He will talk about some of the great challenges facing our marine animals and habitats.

“Ken has donated his documentaries to education, where they now feature on the secondary school exam curriculum within the junior cycle geography and business studies courses.”

Tickets for Stories from the Sea at The Everyman on September 26 can be purchased online at www.everymancork.com and early booking is advised.
