A few tickets still remain for Taibhdhearc na Gaillimhe's GAF production 'Eistigi… Caithfear Eisteacht!', which opened at Seanscoil Sailearna in Inverin on Tuesday night.

Directed by Mike P. O Conaola and written by Joe Steve O Neachtain, 'Eistigi… Caithfear Eisteacht!' is a celebration of the famous Irish language playwright, poet and author Mairtin O Cadhain. Based on his short story '1912' concerning the goings on around an 'American Wake', O Cadhain used his personal experiences of growing up to bring his characters to life.
