About this event

A heartfelt and humorous tribute to Ireland’s beloved master storyteller Eamon Kelly, this show brings his timeless tales to life.

Pakie O’Callaghan’s A Celebration of The Stories of Eamon Kelly honours the work of Irelands greatest storyteller. O’Callaghan takes Kelly’s best known stories including “The mirror”, “The looking glass” and “The woman who married the Blacksmith” and intersperses them with the haunting music of Sliabh Luachra, beautifully played by Aileen Collins and Catherine Frost to create an evening of spellbinding theatre.

The stories capture the life, times and happenings of rural Ireland in more innocent times and will evoke evoke memories of a world that moved at its own pace dictated only by the weather and the seasons. O’Callaghan has been described by the Sunday Times as “Peerless at what he does”.
