Donal O'Kelly
Ireland, the late 16th century.
A multilingual performance, featuring English, Irish, Spanish and Latin.
Spanish captain Francisco de Cuellar, washed ashore on Streedagh Beach in Sligo in 1588, faced a desperate struggle for survival. His odyssey from Ben Bulben to the Giant's Causeway is Ireland's great untold epic adventure story. Francisco's Irish baptism of fire propels him from soldier of fortune to "gyspsy among savages", and gives this born survivor a glimpse of something more precious than Conquistadors' gold.
