Thursday March 20th at 7:00pm: SHADOW OVER RATHCARN: Darby O'Gill and The Undead Chieftain

     

Dare ye walk the misted roads and hear the tale?
Shadow Over Rathcarn
Original Story by Oz, Ossian Grey & Shandon Loring

There are dangers aplenty in the mist—but none so fearsome as
the ancient chieftain who refuses to stay buried.

When a reckless lad disturbs the cursed mound of Abhartach, an undying terror rises, demanding his rightful tribute in blood. The people of Rathcarn grow powerless beneath the shadow of the neamh-mairbh, and the land itself begins to wither.

But if there’s one man who knows how to parley with the dead, outwit the fae, and walk the fine line between courage and calamity, it’s Darby O’Gill.

Armed with nothing but his sharp tongue, quick wit, and a desperate plan, Darby must face an unholy horror, bargain with a tricksy fae lord, and call upon the oldest magic in Ireland to seal the nightmare away—before Rathcarn is drained dry.

A tale of cunning over cruelty, words over weapons, and a legend not soon forgotten...

Based on the Irish Legend of Abhartach

TUESDAY, March 18th at 7pm: THE QUIET MAN

 

Join Caledonia tonight 'round the fire for a Seanchai Library tradition: Maurice Walsh's 1933 short story about a man returning to his home in Ireland, where rather than peace and contentment he finds romance, neighborhood politics, and perhaps the path to mending what's broken inside of him.

"Shawn Kelvin, a blithe young lad of twenty, went to the States to seek his fortune. And fifteen years thereafter he returned to his native Kerry, his blitheness sobered and his youth dried to the core, and whether he had made his fortune or whether he had not, no one could be knowing for certain. For he was a quiet man, not given to talking about himself and the things he had done. A quiet man, under middle size, with strong shoulders and deep-set blue eyes below brows darker than his dark hair—that was Shawn Kelvin."

Presented live, on stream.

THURSDAY January 16th at 7-8:30pm: THE THULE STOWAWAY

  

“I have reached these lands but newly.. From an ultimate dim Thule—”
THE THULE STOWAWAY
If a man makes a monster, he wonders, is he responsible for it? If one is the master of the monster, what happens when the monster is left alone? Does it wander in wrath? Does it rage? The poet does not consider his monster’s future. He makes it and sets it free in his kingdom.

PLEASE NOTE: Tonight's story will run approximately 90 minutes
