THE INVITATION

DO YOU WANT TO HELP PEIG GO AWAY?

because Eating Seals & Seagulls’ Eggs has an invitation…

I visited the Dublin Fringe last year to scout for shows that I felt would be an exciting and succesful addition to the 2015 Edinburgh Festival Fringe and after seeing Eating Seals and Seagulls’ Eggs I thought this was exactly what I was looking for.
Matthew Dwyer, Theatre Programmer, Pleasance

BÍODH PEIG I LÁR AN AONAIGH!

Little Wolf has worked very hard to gather together enough funds to cover staff costs. Peig has her bags packed and her tickets booked but she still needs help with accomadation and sustenance, venue costs and production costs. The outlay of bringing a show to Edinburgh is huge and the sterling exchange rate is adding 40% to all costs.

But we believe it’s worth it. The Edinburgh Fringe Festival is the biggest arts festival in the world and it’s a great honour to have been asked to be part of it, particularly since we have been asked to play at Pleasance, one of the acknowledged ‘big four’ . Every programmer from every festival and every theatre from across the globe will be there. This is an enormous opportunity and one we felt we couldn’t pass up.

But we need your help to get us over the final hurdle. We are immensely grateful for any support you can give us. Any contribution you can make through this Fund it campaign would make a massive difference.

THE PLAY

"This is a play of national interest. A great piece of work, I was mesmerised from start to finish."
ARENA RTÉ RADIO 1

Meet Ireland’s most hated woman. Peig Sayers. Author. Mother. Pin-up of the new state. A folklorists’ dream. A story telling machine. Abhored. Destested. Misunderstood.
This Dublin Fringe sell-out is a touching, evocative and funny slice of documentary theatre drawing on autobiography, archive material and rare film footage. An exploration of nationality, language and loneliness through the beautiful, bleak landscape of the most westerly point in Europe, The Great Blasket.
A taboo-busting multimedia tsunami from award-winning collaborators performer-writer Caitríona Ní Mhurchú & visual artist Adam Gibney with original sound from rocker collective Bird in Snow.

"I had no particular expectations of this show when I with to see it and so was a little overwhelmed at what a profoundly unsettling effect it had. I am delighted that a piece of theatre that confronts our cultural history in such a serious, yet sinuous and playful syle should have an opportunity to find an audience outside Ireland."
Gerard Stembridge
