Treasure trove of stories left by late Eamon Kelly are being brought to life by Jack Healy

THE late actor, broadcaster and seanachaí, Eamon Kelly, has left a treasure trove of stories that are being brought to life by actor, Jack Healy. 

Directed by Ger Fitzgibbon, the show hinges on the fact that Kelly initially trained as a carpenter who taught woodwork and Healy himself is an accomplished wood-worker. During the show, Healy will fashion a small object out of wood.

“I have a real sense of Kelly being a craftsman in every sense,” says Healy. “The making of a story requires an element of craft, just like making an object does.”
