Storytellers Theatre Company's acclaimed productions of The Mayor of Casterbridge, Oedipus and The Grapes of Wrath, followed in 2002 by Women in Arms, the first Irish story to be presented in this international series. In this fresh and witty perspective on Irish mythology, the women of the title are revealed as the driving forces that shape the events and ultimately, the history of their time. Nessa, Macha, Deirdre and Maeve, are the powerful quartet, whose loves and lusts are at the centre of the drama. Accompanied by a live musical score, Women in Arms is an exotic and sophisticated theatrical treat.

A WAY OF RETELLING OLD STORIES WHICH ARE FULL OF VIGOUR AND WIT AND AN ANCIENT UNAPOLOGETIC GLAMOUR.
