Set on the border between Leitrim and Fermanagh, this tragic love story weaves together past and present through the tradition of mumming and storytelling accompanied by toe-tapping dance and live music from fiddle, accordian and bodhran. This play tells a story that would break your heart while touching your comic nerve.
