St Mary’s National School, Finea are taking part in the Teacher- Artist Partnership this year.
This initiative by the Department of Education and Skills aims to to help schools to provide high quality arts education for the children and to promote the arts within education.
The entire project was child-led and the children came up with the ideas, script and performances.
This adaptation of the story delves into the competitiveness between the powerful Queen Maeve and her husband Ailill and the repercussions of this.
The characters of Queen Maeve, Ailill and the powerful Cú Chulainn are examined and you will be transported back in time to Maeve’s pursuit of the mighty Brown Bull of Cooley.
The team-work, enthusiasm and connection of all the children in the school was incredible and a decision was made to bring it to the Backstage Theatre in Longford.
The show An Tain - As told by the pupils of St Mary’s NS will be presented in the Backstage Theatre, Longford on Wednesday, March 22 at 6:30pm as a celebration of their work.
