THE WINTER WOODS

This Christmas season, step into a magical winter adventure in this playful 60-minute theatre show set in the town of Lurgan during the winter of the Great Wind of 1839, a storm of unprecedent destruction.

Deep within the heart of The Woods, an ancient force stirs.  Inspired by Gaelic mythology, the story brings the Cailleach, the powerful goddess of winter, storms and the shaping of the land, to life.  

Unrelenting and fierce, she refuses to release her icy grip, unleashing a devastating storm that threatens everyone caught in its path. As the winds howl and danger draws closer, the boundaries between myth and reality begin to blur. Can the storm be stopped before it is too late, or will the Cailleach's fury claim everything? 

 Join us for a spellbinding journey where ancient folklore, science and the power of nature collide. Coming to Lurgan Town Hall on December 18th, 19th and 20th.

Suitable for audiences of all ages, with some dark elements.

Proudly supported by the Heritage Lottery and Lurgan Townscape Heritage.
