in collaboration with Video Artist Shane Crossan

After losing a wager with the evil Enchanter, the son of the King of Ireland is given a year and a day to find the Enchanter’s dwelling place and pluck three hairs from his beard, or else he’ll lose his life. This he succeeds in doing, and in the process he gains the hand of Fedelma, the Enchanter’s youngest daughter, in marriage. Come see this traditional tale told with a modern spin. This great story is being told by local teenagers and is one not to be missed. A definite date for your diary!
