A Murder of Crows
by Mike Kenny in collaboration with Barnstorm Theatre Company
Inspired by the story of Hansel and Gretel, A Murder of Crows explores the themes of famine, family loyalties, and survival. Six actors weave a gothic story of the journey of two children navigating fear and abandonment, from the squawking perspective of a group of boisterous crows.
"Mike Kenny’s text…unearths some serious and subtle themes, challenging to a young audience and rewarding for the adults with its layers of historical allusion.”-Irish Theatre Magazine
