Hungry Grass/Stray Sod
Fresh from its award winning off-broadway debut (BEST PLAY Origin’s 1st Irish Festival 2025), Wandering Stories is coming home to Ireland! Mixing fucked up folklore and heartrending personal stories, let’s take a another look at the tales we tell ourselves.
An Irish bisexual and an Ugandan lesbian meet in a foreign land. One turned up hoping for work, one was forced to flee her home. As they share stories from their past and cultures, strange parallels emerge.
Join us between worlds, stray from the path. The differences and similarities of our stories ripple through time. Don’t forget the lessons our ancestors taught us. Don’t believe it’ll never happen to you. A night of fucked up folklore and heartrending true stories.
Supported by the National Leprechaun Museum.
