WALKABOUT SHOW
An astounding aerial show with original live music and storytelling.
Travel back to the 16th century when the fierce, unconquerable Grace O'Malley - Granuaile - reigned over the West Coast of Ireland. Her galleys plundered any English ship daring to trespass on her seas. But her ancient world was under attack. 'Grace' is the story of a woman fighting against a new order that threatens her country, her family and her freedom.
