NATIONAL FOLK THEATRE Thurs 5th - Sat 21st (excl Sun 8th & 15th) • 8.30pm This is a dramatic and powerful new production by the National Folk Theatre of Ireland about one woman’s journey to find a place she can call home. It’s a story of leave-takings and new beginnings, of love and loss and adventure, and above all, a story full of hope. Set against the backdrop of emigration, or ‘the Irish habit of going away’, Imigéin delves deep into the Irish experience of that search for home – the struggles and the triumphs, the set-backs and the successes. Rich in music, song and dance, this story will resonate with audiences, inspire you, make you laugh and move you. Don’t miss the chance to see this ground-breaking production in Kerry’s own, Siamsa Tíre this autumn.
