The Crick Crack Club presents
THE BODIES ON THE BEACH - The Last Battles of Fionn MacCumhaill
Performance storytelling by Ben Haggarty & Steph Brittain

A fatherless son
A daughters lament
A pig stolen from its spit
Fires burning out at sea
And a dream

On the westernmost tip of Ireland, a beach of crystal white sand once ran crimson with the blood of a never-ending magical battle the last battle fought by the epic hero, Fionn MacCumhaill.

Step into a maelstrom of myth, as storytellers Ben Haggarty and Steph Brittain pick through fragments of voices, medieval manuscript, and song to piece together a story of love, loss and destiny a Celtic Iliad.

Raw, lyrical, and unforgettable. This is not just a wild myth retold. Its an exploration of what it means to live, to regret, to sacrifice, and to endure in a relentless world. What will survive the tide?
