A Celebration of the Stories of Eamon Kelly honours the work of Irelands greatest ever storyteller.
O’Callaghan takes Kelly’s best known stories including “The Umbrella”, “The Looking Glass” and “The Woman who Married the Blacksmith” and intersperses them with the haunting music of Sliabh Luachra, Kelly’s home place, to create a spellbinding evening of theatre.
These stories beautifully capture the life, times and happenings of rural Ireland in more innocent times and for those who lived through them they will evoke memories of a world that moved at its own pace dictated only by the weather and the seasons.
Pakie O’Callaghan’s performance has been described as “Brilliant”, “wonderfully evocative” and he has been described by the Sunday Times as “peerless at what he does”.
