On a windswept rock near Dursey Island, where legend claims the great blacksmithing god Goibhniú once forged his enchanted weapons, past and present collide in a story of myth, superstition, and personal reckoning. The Crows Old Gold delves into the folklore of the Gaibhleann Gabha, the Hag of Beara, and the ancient spirits said to inhabit the rugged coast of West Cork and Kerry.
At the heart of the play are two women, bound by fate to this mystical land. Grainne, a sharp-tongued local shop assistant, knows everyones business and isnt shy about sharing it. Shes practical, grounded, and skeptical of old superstitions. Maree, a woman from Cavan, has journeyed to the Beara Peninsula with a deep sense of purposeto make an offering to the legendary forge before facing a life-altering surgery. As she immerses herself in the ancient lore of the Dé Danann, she seeks meaning, strength, and perhaps even a sign from the old gods.
Through humor, wit, and moments of haunting beauty, The Crows Old Gold explores the enduring power of myth and the ways in which the past continues to shape the present...
