Darby O’Gill and the Good People (staged reading) @ Valley Center Stage (North Bend)

This history sets forth the only true account of the adventures of a daring Tipperary man named Darby O’Gill among the Fairies of Sleive-na-mon. When O’Gill is imprisoned by the fairies of Sleive-na-mon in their home under the hollow mountain, he starts a lasting friendship with their King Brian Connors. In this series of tales of Darby and King Brian’s adventures, we follow Brian as his fairies are banished from Heaven for not taking sides as angels wage war against each other, and we follow Darby to face the Banshee in Croaghmah, the realm of ghosts and the final destination of the spectral death coach driven by its headless horseman.

Join Darby as he matches wits with the crafty Leprechaun, and join King Brian as he debates philosophy with parish priest Father Cassidy. Written by Herminie Templeton Kavanagh.

A staged reading means there is not a full set, but lights, sound and some costuming will be incorporated. Actors dramatically read from scripts to present the full story.
