A girl is born, a prophecy is made and so begins the story of Deirdre of the Sorrows, one of the greatest tragic heroines of Irish mythology. Her epic story, retold by Giles Abbott, is violent, erotic, funny and tragic, and though it’s feet are in the past (Iron Age in origin) it is a story whose eyes are firmly fixed on the present.
Is beauty, for a woman, a blessing or a curse? And if a curse, why? Imagine the story of Helen of Troy, but told from Helen’s perspective.
Come and hear one of the greatest stories in mythology told by an award-winning storyteller!
Adults and children 12+.
