The Wood of the Whispering

The Wood of the Whispering is set in the year 1950 in the West of Ireland. We are invited not to a romantic anti-urban fiction about our past but to the fullness of life as it was lives and endured by the community who flitted around the Wood of the Whispering.

‘Director Garry Hynes gives reign to the earthy comedy and it flows like a river in full spate’- Sunday Independent
