Fidil Ghorm tells the story of a 10-year-old girl called Molly who believes that if she learns to play the fiddle like her dad did she can wake him up from a coma. In the rehab home there is a grumpy man, Malachy, whom she hears one day play the fiddle beautifully and she is told that he has ‘magic in his hands”. They eventually make a connection and thus begins her journey to find magic in the music and hopefully cure her dad.

Post show discussion with director Anne McCabe will follow.
