The Bodies on the Beach

by Ben Haggarty and Steph Brittain

Step into a maelstrom of myth as irrepressible storyteller Ben Haggarty is joined by electrifying new voice Steph Brittain in a raw preview of a bold new interpretation of a magical battle that shook the farthest shores of Ireland over 2000 years ago.

Centred on the legendary hero Fionn MacCumhail, his children and his life-long struggles with Donn, Lord of Death and King of the World, this tragic tale traces a powerful journey through generations of love, war, sacrifice, enchantment and survival.

Combining fragments of 15th-century manuscripts, archaeology and folklore, The Bodies on the Beach is a resurrection of a forgotten epic – an unknown Celtic Iliad.

Join Ben and Steph as they test the edge of ancient myth in modern form.Raw, lyrical, and unforgettable. What will survive the tide?
