F\u00edb\u00edn Irish language Theatre Company, Galway is celebrating their 15th<\/sup> anniversary this year and are bringing their biggest production to date \u2018T\u00f3ra\u00edocht\u2019 out on a nationwide tour in April. This is a new version of the epic tale from the Fenian Cycle of Irish mythology \u2018The Pursuit of Diarmuid and Gr\u00e1inne\u2019, written by Philip Doherty and directed by the renowned actor and director Mikel Murfi. Preview shows of the play were well-received in Galway back in November 2016.\"\"<\/p>\n

\u2018T\u00f3ra\u00edocht\u2019 is a love story full of outlandish feats and monsters. The story moves faster than any car-chase, jumps higher than any vaulter, and loves twice as much as any Frenchman, as Diarmuid and Gr\u00e1inne attempt to stay one step ahead of Fionn and the Fianna! All performances will be subtitled in English and the story is told by using stunning visuals throughout.<\/p>\n

\u2018T\u00f3ra\u00edocht\u2019 will be performed by a cast of six comprising of Gr\u00e1inne Bleasdale, M\u00e9abh N\u00ed Chual\u00e1in, Kate Finegan, Liz Fitzgibbon, Fionnuala Gygax and Se\u00e1n T. \u00d3 Meallaigh. The creative team includes award-winning playwright Philip Doherty and award-winning set designer Sabine Dargent. \u2018T\u00f3ra\u00edocht\u2019 is a highly physical performance with quick changes, over-sized props, masks, and a breath-taking aerial routine.The ensemble of 6 actors portray over 30 characters with mask work. There is a great deal of humour in the story, in both the dialogue, and in the execution of the play with a very vivid, emotional closing scene.<\/p>\n

F\u00edb\u00edn will kickstart their \u2018T\u00f3ra\u00edocht\u2019 tour in Galway\u2019s Town Hall Theatre on April 9th<\/sup> with a special matin\u00e9e schools performance on April 10th<\/sup>. The tour heads south to The Everyman in Cork on April 13th<\/sup> and from here makes it\u2019s way to the Dra\u00edocht in Blanchardstown with performances on 17th<\/sup> & 18th<\/sup> April. The tour wraps up in the VISUAL in Carlow on April 26th<\/sup>. There are special matin\u00e9e schools performances in each venue and the play is suitable for ages 12 upwards. A pre-engagement pack will be sent out to all schools who book tickets to enhance their enjoyment and experience of the play. Theatre devices, lighting design and set design will be some of the topics discussed within this pack. Tickets are now available from all venues and check out the F\u00edb\u00edn website www.fibin.com<\/a><\/span> for booking details.<\/p>\n

F\u00edb\u00edn are delighted to have received touring funding from the Arts Council to undertake this tour as it\u2019s very seldom Gaeltacht based companies get the chance to tour nationwide. F\u00edb\u00edn is the biggest and most active Irish language theatre company in the country and an audience in excess of 150,000 people have enjoyed productions here at home and abroad during the last fifteen years. \u2018T\u00f3ra\u00edocht\u2019 is kindly supported by the Arts Council, Eala\u00edn na Gaeltachta, Foras na Gaeilge and RT\u00c9 Supporting the Arts.<\/p>", "protected": false }, "excerpt": { "rendered": "
