The Dreamers of Inishdara

The Dreamers of Inishdara is a romantic comedy which tells the story of Leanah Dubh a half-human half-fairy girl who can crack a man’s skull at half a mile with a hurling ball. Whilst locked in hostilities with Dick Branigan her landlord’s brother (a Dublin Jackeen intent on claiming Inishdara for himself) she is visited by Crow Murphy, a travelling fiddle-player whom she suspects of being a spy for her landlord. The fairy world, fearing the loss of the ancient spirit of enchantment in the land of Ireland following the upsurge of materialism, has decided to intervene on the world of human affairs.
