The Seasonal Soap Opera
Le
Sean O’Laoghaire

Sean O’Laoghaire grew up in a house full of stories, laughter and high jinks and has been able to translate this upbringing into his very creative and unusual style of work! He has been storytelling, performing and a puppeteer for ten years, and has finally put together his finest, quirkiest and most popular piece of work, for public consumption.

Sean has worked in and toured many parts of Ireland, from Kerry to Donegal, from Clonakilty to Cliften. He has also worked in England over the last couple of years and recently appeared on the TG4’s chat show “Ardan”, performing his puppet show ”seo don gach aimsir”

This is a puppet show with a difference; it is a Soap Opera, encompassing the four seasons, the environment and wildlife, the weather, the Irish language, Celtic folklore, human relationships, comedy and Sean’s own life. The story is always moving and changing with the time of year it is being performed in.

It is a huge success with both young and old; it’s a real family show with a difference, something for everyone of any age.
The show at the moment, is concerned with spring trying to get the throne from winter, who has polaria (a nasty piece of wind) on his side. Meanwhile cockie and hen are arguing about whether to build a nest or not and fox suffering from S.A.D. syndrome!

Will it be winter forever?

Will the fox get better?

Only you can find out……
