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

THURSDAY March 16th at 7pm: DARBY O'GILL and The Good People

 

 Now, What About Your Fourth Wish? -
DARBY O'GILL

The Only True History, as told by Brian Connors, the King of the Good People, to Father Cassidy, and afterwards related by Jerry Murtaugh a Reliable Car Driver, who goes between Kilcuny and Balinderg
THE most lonesome bridle-path in all Ireland leads from Tom Healy's cottage down the sides of the hills, along the edge of the valley, till it raiches the highroad that skirts the great mountain, Sleive-na-mon. One blusthering, unaisy night, Father Cassidy, on his way home from a sick call, rode over that same path. It wasn't strange that the priest, as his horse ambled along, should be thinking of that other night in Darby O'Gill's kitchen - the night when he met with the Good People; for there, off to the left, towered and threatened Sleive-na-mon, the home of the fairies.

THURSDAY March 18th 7:00pm - 8:30pm: DARBY O'GILL and the BANSHEE'S COMB pt2

 

THE BANSHEE'S COMB
Recorded as a true event in early 1800s, a young boy had the temerity to steal a comb from a banshee. Banshees are an Irish entity that will sing laments for people before they die; and for the crime of stealing the banshee's comb the youth was haunted and driven by her phantom keening and wailing until he was almost dead... 

Tonights story is of a similar encounter that Darby O'Gill once had, in which he finds the end part of a comb that later turns out to belong to a banshee. In her attempts to locate the missing piece, the phantom woman summons up a host of ghosts from the graveyard to sweep through the countryside and towns looking for it! If you want to know how Darby O'Gill escapes, well... come hear the story tonight!

"All at once the side of the mountain ferninst them opened with a great crash, an' Shaun, with the coach an' horses, disaypeared in a rush, swolleyd up be the mountain, which closed afther thim. Darby was blinkin' an' shiverin' beside the King of the Leprechauns,when sudden, an' without a sound, the banshee stood before them."
