The Crick Crack Club presents THE BODIES ON THE BEACH - The Last Battles of Fionn MacCumhaill Performance storytelling by Ben Haggarty & Steph Brittain A fatherless son A daughter’s lament A pig stolen from its spit Fires burning out at sea And a dream On the westernmost tip of Ireland, a beach of crystal white sand once ran crimson with the blood of a never-ending magical battle — the last battle fought by the epic hero, Fionn MacCumhaill. Step into a maelstrom of myth, as storytellers Ben Haggarty and Steph Brittain pick through fragments of voices, medieval manuscript, and song to piece together a story of love, loss and destiny – a Celtic Iliad. Raw, lyrical, and unforgettable. This is not just a wild myth retold. It’s an exploration of what it means to live, to regret, to sacrifice, and to endure in a relentless world. What will survive the tide? RUNNING TIME: 120mins plus interval CONTENT: This performance includes references to and descriptions of bereavement, death, sex, war, violence, cannibalism, incest, suicide, infanticide, contextualised within a paradigm of mythic narrative, archetype and metaphor.
