Éist! Is Éireannach mé! (Listen! I'm Irish!)

Ah, we Irish are a melancholy lot but we're full of magical thinking, with a history deeply rooted in mythology and mysticism. Yes, the world knows us as poets and minstrels, lovers and fighters. Our ferociousness is only matched by our sense of tragedy. We Irish do have an abiding sense of tragedy, which sustains us through temporary periods of joy.

Éist! Is Éireannach mé! (Listen! I'm Irish!) is a true story of the serendipitous windings of fate that brought the love child of one father under the protection of another.

Created and Performed by Lynne Duddy
