The Fisherman's Son

Forbhreathnú

  • Drámadóir

    Ciarda Tobin 

  • Achoimre

    Inspired by Limerick’s strand salmon fisherman, this is a story of three generations of men bound by family ties and a shared passion. A father and son prepare for what may be their last fishing trip, they reflect upon their past and look at an uncertain future. A semi-autobiographical piece which mourns the lost traditions of Limerick’s urban fisherman through the prisim of one family.
