Developed over the past two years by playwright and Artistic Home associate Jim Lynch, along with the Artistic Home Ensemble, The Tallest Man is a wildly hilarious celebration of perseverance, prejudice and superstition in turn of the century Ireland. Culled from a childhood nourished by tales of Irish fantasy, The Tallest Man's account of hardscrabble survivors in County Mayo begins as a ghost story but draws its power from the very real problems of the living. Drawing from an Irish folk tale, the play tells the story of a high-spirited young tinker struggling to stay one step ahead of the English landlords, corrupt clergy and vengeful locals.

Featuring Ensemble members Marta Evans, Nick Horst, Frank Nall, and Miranda Zola; and Guest Artists Shane Kenyon, Eamonn McDonagh, Darrelyn Marx, Malcolm Callan, Brandon Thompson and Bill Boehler.
