The Selkie Boy** by Kevin Fegan and Barrow Senior Youth Theatre, performed at The Forum, Barrow on 20th February 2010.
It is summer. A group of Barrow teenagers are camping out on Piel Island. A boy, missing for years, turns up with a strange story. Is he lying; is he mad; or did something really happen in the chilly waters of the Irish Sea?
A beautiful and strange story about the effects of going missing told with puppetry and live action
**Selkies are creatures in Irish and Scottish mythology that can transform themselves from seals to humans by shedding their seal skins.
