Trees are rewilded, wounded, reclaimed, reset. There are generational poems and tales of grandmothers, mothers, daughters, patriarchy, apple tarts, hopes, losses and survival. We have the renewing force of a dip in the sea, a trip back in time to the Mountshannon Regatta and the green persistence of that man Pan. We even have an old Ford Cortina! Interspersed with music by SON Susan O’Neill, Shona Blake, The Wailin’Jennys, Caoimhín O’Raghallaigh & Dan Trueman, and CoCo and the Butterfields.
This show is dedicated to the memory of Picia Harvey Kelly.
