THURSDAY JULY 30th at 7pm: THE GIRL WHO LIVED ON THE MOON from Frank Delaney

THE GIRL WHO LIVED ON THE MOON

A new series of stories in the oral tradition from Frank Delaney...

At 6:45pm a special prologue "Mind Pictures" precedes our regular session...
A good story, well told, makes children of us all. At any age we will sit rapt and
still, instantaneously translating the storyteller's rise-and-fall words into the
vivid pictures that we see in our minds.Our own images. And only ours. The fireside storyteller did not supply his listeners with finite pictures - he gave them the paints and the crayons and they colored in the incandescent white of the moonbeam, or the hue of space...


Tonight: The Girl Who Lived on the Moon
Once upon a time there was a girl who lived on the moon." And when she comes to earth on a moonbeam, and grants the human race insights that would delight a Jungian and calm a six-year-old to sleep, we must wonder if times were different then, when "fish danced the polka on the surface of the sea and the birds said their prayers out loud.

THURSDAY JULY 23rd at 7pm: PIGSONG from Frank Delaney

PIGSONG

A new series of stories in the oral tradition from Frank Delaney...

At 6:45pm a special prologue "Anthropomorphism" precedes our regular session...
For an acknowledged 2,500 years, storytellers have been using, among their other tricks, a singularly wonderful device - they grant to animals the gifts and qualities, good and bad, of human beings. Their secondary powers, however, carry more clout - they teach...


Tonight: Pigsong
Once upon a time and long ago, when snow tasted like cream, and timber tasted like sweet cake, and every tenth egg laid by a duck had a diamond in it, there lived up in the North of Ireland a very bad man." Pigsong is charming and instructs, seduces, entertains and allows us to see how an oppressed culture might have learned the concept of justice through imagination.

THURSDAY JULY 16th at 7pm: THE SEA-FOLK from Frank Delaney

THE SEA-FOLK

A new series of stories in the oral tradition from Frank Delaney...

At 6:45pm a special prologue "Mythology as History" precedes our regular session...
Imaginative minds give themselves permission to read mythology as history. Legends arise out of practical need; a raider has to be repulsed; a dragon slain; a kingly alliance formed, perhaps through marriage, for mutual territorial interest.
But it goes deeper...


Tonight: The Sea-Folk
The names of those seaboard counties throb with atmosphere - Donegal, Sligo, Mayo, Galway, Clare, Kerry, and down and around to Cork and Waterford. Who knows what creatures came ashore from there in days so dark that their shadows had shadows? Or observed humans from out in the tide? And who knows how they interacted with the people on the land? The seanchai knew; that was his profession - to know the unknowable and tell it to the rest of us sitting around the fire. In some farmhouse, deep in the middle of a fertile county, where they never hear the surf, and never even glimpse a wandering sea-gull, they can only imagine the rampaging white horses of the waves as they gallop toward the shore, and the sad high notes of the mermaid's fatal song.

THURSDAY JULY 9th at 7pm: THE DRUID from Frank Delaney

THE DRUID

A new series of stories in the oral tradition from Frank Delaney...

At 6:45pm a special "Seanchai Prologue" precedes our regular session...
The wandering storyteller, the seanchai.. a universal archetype, all our ancestors encountered the Seanchai, or someone of the like, in every part of the world. Imagine, that you're sitting by the fire in an Irish farmhouse kitchen any time in the last few hundred years, and an old man with a  long parchment face comes in, shakes the weather from the shoulders of his long black coat, sits down, accepts a glass of whiskey, lights his pipe and begins...


Tonight: The Druid
Our ancient times knew very few people as important as druids. They were wise men whose advice was sought by kings and commoners. But of course now and then you'd find a few rogues, a few unscrupulous tricksters. Like the man I'm going to tell you about...
