“Ireland is "The Land of 100,000 Welcomes." It is also home to an unbroken line of writers who have influenced world literature for centuries. During September, this thriving tradition is being celebrated all over NYC. From the ancient is a staged reading of Seamus Heaney's translation of Beowulf and Darragh Martin's dramatization of Celtic tales, Map of Lost Things. A site-specific restaging of Don Creedon's Guy Walks Into A Bar takes place at Ryan's Daughter on the Upper West Side. Synagogue for the Arts is where a Jewish-Irish family marks Yom Kippur in the Belfast-based Kabosh Company's This is What We Sang. Check the fest's site for many more performances. As the Irish say, bain sult as!”
