Full production description

Performance storytelling by Steph Brittain & Ben Haggarty Step into a maelstrom of myth as irrepressible storyteller Ben Haggarty is joined by electrifying new voice Steph Brittain in a preview of a bold new interpretation of a magical battle that shook the farthest shores of Ireland over two thousand years ago. Centred on the legendary hero Fionn MacCumhail, his children and his life-long struggles with Donn, Lord of Death and King of the World, this tragic tale traces a long and powerful journey through generations of love, enchantment and war. Combining fragments of 15th-century manuscripts, archaeology and folklore held by farmers, The Bodies on the Beach is a resurrection of a forgotten epic – an unknown Celtic Iliad. Join Ben and Steph — fresh from the windswept battlefields of the Dingle Peninsula — as they test the edge of ancient myth in modern form. Raw, lyrical, and unforgetta
