Lady Gregory's Patrick

The Opeongo Readers' Theatre celebrate St. Patrick's Day with a rousing selection from Lady Gregory's curious research concerning the Patron Saint of Ireland. Drawn for ancient Irish manuscripts and the 1,500-year-old story-telling tradition of the Emerald Isle, this episode contains everything from an old Irish monk praising his cat, Pangur Ban, to a wild, insult-filled debate between Patrick and Oisin about the merit's of Christianity versus the the joys and sorrows of being the last living member of Ireland's mythological band of great men, the Fianna.
