TITLE

Connor's Gonna Tell: The Táin Bó Cúailnge retells an old Irish folk story with theatrics and live music, and it was nothing but personable and charming. Conner, the storyteller, creates a fun and inviting atmosphere, akin to a fireside story, while showing off the drama of this old tale. The whole performance felt very conversational, like a friend telling me an exciting anecdote. Beside Conner was a musician providing a beautiful live backing track with the mandolin the whole way through. They worked with only two props and both of them were beautifully made. This was engaging and friendly, I would recommend it to anyone who loves Irish folklore, or just funny and dramatic stories!
