Ruffled Feathers
A unique retelling of The Children of Lir, from the perspective of the often-overlooked women in the enchanting world of Irish mythology. The legend begins with a mention of Eva, mother to children but after her death, she is seemingly forgotten, as was her sister Ailbhe. The third sister Aoife was immortalised in the story as a villainous stepmother. But what was their story?
Could you forgive your sister if she cursed your children to be swans? And she married your husband after you passed? And she stole your good perfume? Step into a magical realm where three sisters attempt to mend their relationships through comedy, drama, and all the enchantment of Irish mythology.
