The Sign of the Whale

Forbhreathnú

  • Drámadóir

    Jimmy McAleavey 

  • Suíomh

    Belfast, 1977.

  • Achoimre

    Belfast 1977. Dermy, a headline writer neurotically compelled to remember every victim of violence, is on the brink of a breakdown. Tony, a Belfast teenager, is meanwhile on the brink of life amid a conflict that might never end.

    Into their world of violent stalemate sails something preposterous, absurd and magical. A killer whale is seen in Belfast Lough. Has it come to be butchered, bring luck or bring further disaster to the city?

    When the whale suddenly disappears, tragic circumstances bring Dermy and Tony together in a search to find it. Maimed by experience, their search becomes much more than for a hunt for the whale.

    It’s their search for a future.
