The Bodies on the Beach

Ben Haggarty and Steph Brittain weave an ‘Irish Iliad’ of myth, story and song in a raw, lyrical performance from the Crick Crack Club.

Performance storytelling by Ben Haggarty and Steph Brittain.

A fatherless son. A daughter's lament. Fires burning out at sea. And a dream.

Ben Haggarty and Steph Brittain piece together an Irish Iliad from fragments of medieval manuscript, story, and song. This is an exploration of what it means to live, to regret, to sacrifice, and to endure in a relentless world.
