Animated take on saint’s tale

AN Oscar-winning animator has added a new dimension to Cork’s St Patrick’s Festival as part of a new reinterpretation of the ancient tale of our patron saint.

Patrick: The Story, a multi- media show on the life of St Patrick which features the work of Nicky Phelan, will be premiered at the CIT Cork School of Music tomorrow night.

Phelan, who directed the Oscar nominated Granny O’Grimm, is renowned for his work with Brown Bag Films.
