Scéalaíocht bheo ó bhéal i nGaeilge, le roinnt Béarla

Le Risteard Ó Laoghaire

Éirí amach sa GPO 1983 – Scéal na rún oifigiúil agus faoin ngrá faoi cheilt san Ard Oifig an Phoist i mBaile Átha Cliath. Scéal faoi shuimeanna móra airgid, rianta páipéir agus ghlaonna gutháin. Scéal greannmhar agus dochreidte, cosúil le síscéal Éireannach ach is fíorscéal atá ann. I measc na scéalta eile tá an scéal faoi mar a fuair mé m’ainm Síneach!

Is homoseanchaí é Risteard Ó Laoghaire a bhí le feiceáil sa Druthaib’s Ball leis an Array Collective a bhuaigh Duais Turner i 2021.Is é cruthaitheoir na seónna aonair scéalaíochta There’s a Bishop in my Bedroom agus Border Fairies.

Live Oral Storytelling in Irish, with some English

by Richard O’Leary

Rebellion in the GPO 1983 is a tale of official secrets and hidden love in the General Post Office in Dublin. A tale of vast sums of money, paper trails and telephone calls.

A funny, incredible story, like an Irish fairy tale but this is a true story.

With other stories, including the story of how I got my Chinese name!

Richard O’Leary is a storyteller, a homoseanchaí who featured in the The Druthaib’s Ball by the Array Collective, which won the Turner Prize in 2021. He is the creator of the acclaimed solo storytelling shows There’s a Bishop in my Bedroom and Border Fairies.
