What a beautiful story brought to life by the incredible cast. Susan Sneath is outstanding in her role as Siobhan the Seanchaí (Irish oral storyteller) who’s now aging and facing the accompanying changes. Mark Guerrero plays Fionn, a young man interested in learning the skill of storytelling.

Both actors were incredibly polished and the execution was tight, shockingly putting a world of details and emotions into just 45 minutes. Susan was very convincing in her role and is clearly an experienced actor. A highlight for me was when Fionn performed some modern day storytelling for Siobhan. He was hilarious and executed that scene flawlessly.

This story hit really close to home, and I wasn’t expecting it. I cried and also felt comforted by the way that Gavin Bradley so thoughtfully crafted this script.
