Jon Kenny and Katie Holly in a scene from ‘Mag Mell’ at The Everyman Palace.

'Mag Mell', the new powerfully moving dramatic show filled with sensational visuals, stirring newly composed music and exuberant dance, hits the stage of the Everyman Palace, Cork on Friday night, May 30.

Welcome to . An isle fabled for eternal peace and happiness. It is a creative adaption of old Irish ghost and folk tales that tells a truly modern story.

The mythical island of Mag Mell off the west coast of Ireland, fabled for eternal peace and happiness, is about to be rocked as the greed and materialism of the 21st Century collide with the ancient wisdom and beauty of Mother Earth. With the help of characters drawn from the world of fairies and ghosts, Mother Earth, in the guise of the Bean Feasa (Wise Woman), responds by unleashing all of her creative energies, her fury, her pain, her vision and her compassion, as she strives to save the island of Mag Mell from destruction.

A wild mix of dance, music, theatre and puppetry give expression to these whirling forces as they lead to a climax of transformation and ultimately redemption.

Theatrically captivating from the start, the show creates a carnival atmosphere - dark, dangerous and anarchic at times, light, happy and delightful too. Humor abounds! There is no time to think as you enter a mesmerizing world of music, colour and rhythm and become absorbed by a thrilling story that unfolds with originality and imagination.

The show is presented by Whobeganit Theatre Co. Ltd., founded by actor and comedian Jon Kenny, Des Dillon (artist & puppeteer), Benny McCarthy (accordeon player and composer) and Conal Ó Gráda (flute player and composer). They are joined by Colm Murphy (renowned bodhrán player), Ciaran Ó Maonaigh (fiddle player and TG 4 Young Musician of the year 2003), Caitlín Nic Gabhann (concertina player and award winning dancer with Riverdance) and Katie Holly (actor & singer/songwriter).
