an adaption by Dylan Gee

-
Ireland's greatest boyo-legend comes to life on stage for the very first time. A young hero named Fin McCool quests across Ireland to avenge his father's death with a bunch of old bastards who still think they're all tough.
This play is a fun fantasy adventure with a little bit of drama. Finn McCool is one of the most important folklore characters of old Ireland, similar to Hercules in Greek Mythology or King Arthur in Britain. Ireland is an invisible pillar of the Australian identity with almost every Anglo-Australian having some Irish heritage, we should remember the stories of the places we came from.
