TESTIMONIALS
It was a joy to work with Yvonne on the Cork Martial Arts Promotions Awards night (CMAP). In fact, I can't call it 'work' because Yvonne and her team had planned and then executed the ceremony with absolute professionalism. No stone was left unturned in her quest for perfection. I know from TV that we are told never to work with kids and animals! Yvonne's team had no such problem with her young Martial Arts battalion. Congratulations to all.

Yvonne Coughlan and RSVP took part in the 2011 Corona Fastnet Short Film Festival. Their mission was to write, shoot and edit a short film in the four days of the festival, and to present the finished film on the final evening. The end result showed a great appreciation and understanding of the process, particularly the inevitable technical difficulties that can arise from severe restrictions of time and budget. We enjoyed having them around...they arrived, took over their space and got on with it. I would have no hesitation in recommending RSVP for their drive, their enthusiasm and their professionalism.

REVIEWS
The Haunted History Tour; Cork City Gaol.
"An impressive cast of young actors has been assembled[...] The haunted ambience of this drama-cum-tour is brought to vivid life by a script full of historical erudition and the creation of a howling, murderous and haunted atmosphere that attests to the human suffering these walls must surely have borne witness to. […] The script by Red Sandstone Varied Production’s Yvonne Coughlan was excellent and the acting was enjoyably credible. […] This is a memorable dramatic rendering of a vital part of Cork history and you must see it." Frank Hanover. Evening Echo. Feb. 2007.
V-Day; The Va**na Monologues Cork/Kinsale 2009
"Nineteen volunteers, including a number of professional actresses, performed a series of monologues that combined to celebrate female sexuality as well as highlight female ge***al mutilation and r**e. Produced by Kinsale-based Red Sandstone Varied Productions, this show was at times hugely humorous.[…] There was deathly silence in the Crane Lane Theatre as the audience learned that what is happening in the DRC is “femocide” – a war that is wreaking havoc on females. The clarion call to tackle this atrocity was the resounding message at the end of this heartfelt production." Colette Sheridan. Examiner. 1 May 2009.
A Play for Gaza; Seven Jewish Children by Caryl Churchill.
“Kinsale residents witnessed a unique theatrical event last week when they were the first people outside the capital to see the acclaimed and controversial play Seven Jewish Children, by Caryl Churchill […] It was an outstanding production with the intensity of the acting and the enthusiasm of the participants warmly applauded by each audience. Noelle O’Regan, Cathie Clinton, Yvonne Coughlan, Richard Clare, and Arina Obuchova put everything into the play and Noelle was particularly impressive at each performance.” Dermot Ryan. Southern Star. 21 March, 2009.
