Description

In this lively retelling, storyteller Sinéad McAleavy recounts the tale of Fionn mac Cumhaill and his entanglement with two sisters, Áine and Malachra. Both women fall deeply in love with the legendary warrior and compete for his affections, each making ever more extravagant declarations of their devotion. McAleavy’s charismatic storytelling brings the myth to life, blending humour and drama in a captivating performance.
