Dancers from Sally Harney's Comhaltas Watertown group and Frank Keane's Harrington's group in Wakefield will dress in West of Ireland '70's attire to welcome the neighbors' son returning to Ireland after being away in Manchester, England, as the drama unfolds around them.
Boston's Larry Reynolds (video with Larry joined by concert flute player Mike Rafferty and button accordionist Tara Lynch, originally from Corofin, Co. Clare. ) and friends provide the traditional Irish tunes for the kitchen session. The play also features the renowned Brian Cunningham (take a sneak peek at this amazing video), Sean-Nos dancer from Connemara.
"There is an exceptional ‘hooley’ scene that includes a breath-taking display of brush-dancing (an old Irish dance done with a sweeping brush!) by Brian Cunningham from Connemara in County Galway and traditional musician that will warm the hearts of the audience!"
The Banshee of Crockey Hill will be presented Friday & Saturday, June 26th & 27th at 8PM and Sunday, June 28th, at 3PM at the Regent Theatre in Arlington, MA (directions).
