The Fine Beauty of the Island is a solo theatrical performance of harp and storytelling at Greenlake United Methodist Church.
The last remaining inhabitants of the Blasket Islands in County Kerry, Ireland “vanished” in 1953, leaving behind them a deeply haunting tune floating on the winds. the “Fine Beauty of the island” is the story of a journey I made some years ago in search of the origin and meaning of this strange, enchanting tune, a journey which led me back not only to a Blasket Island community and culture “ the likes of which will not be seen again”, but to a long neglected corner of my own past.
THIS IS ONE OF PATRICK’S BEST TALES, NEVER PERFORMED IN SEATTLE. NOT TO BE MISSED!
