Through the ages, from Maine to our own stormy shores, stories are told of seals shedding their skins and becoming women…and of fishermen falling in love with them.
The Irish premiere of The Harbour, by acclaimed UK theatre company Limbik, is coming for two shows only to The Barn on Saturday November 21.
A visually arresting piece of physical theatre, The Harbour is a contemporary re-imagining of a selkie tale. The lives of a mother and her son are forever overturned when he brings home a woman from the sea. Using bittersweet humour and haunting live music, The Harbour unearths an over-fished world filled with impossible desires.
“This imaginative one act production combines many story telling techniques to take the audience on a journey…where we are drawn into the lives of the inhabitants.” British Theatre Guide
The Harbour at The Barn, Church Lane November 21, 3pm & 8pm. To book phone Barnstorm Theatre Company, 056-7751266. Tickets €10. Booking essential.
