Ballad of a Bandit is an adventure story with a difference. Acclaimed musician Matthew Berrill takes to the stage in this new show which conjures up the daring deeds of bandits and highway men. But be prepared for the unexpected in a performance featuring live music, puppetry, object animation, expert storytelling and lots of surprise.
Inspired by the legendary historical figure Capt. George McNamara of Cong who sided with poor tenants in Penal Law times, this re-imagining of his story highlights the power of myth and story to give hope to people in a time of need.
