Live Music Theatre, based on the experiences of Spanish Armada survivor Francisco de Cuellar in the North West of Ireland.
Spanish captain Francisco De Cuellar, washed ashore on Streedagh Beach in Sligo in 1588, faced a desperate struggle for survival. His odyssey from Ben Bulben to the Giant’s Causeway is Ireland’s great untold epic adventure story.
His Irish baptism of fire propels Francisco from soldier of fortune to “gypsy among savages”, and gives this born survivor a glimpse of something more precious than Conquistadors’ gold.
Combining the live musical passion of Kíla, the powerful storytelling skills of Donal O’Kelly (Catalpa, The Cambria) and high octane performances from Carrie Crowley, Jaimie Carswell and Sorcha Fox, this show breaks exciting new ground in music-theatre.
Electrifying music, stunning visuals, superb physical performances and a rollicking story – the perfect night out.
Supported by the Arts Council of Ireland and Leitrim County Council
