Maisy Daly’s Rainbow was a joint
production between Solstice Arts Centre and Tall Tales Theatre Company in
2008. Written by playwright and Artistic Director of Tall Tales, Deirdre
Kinahan, the story is set in 1940 where Johnny lives with his Spanish Mammy on
the edge of Navan and delivers eggs to the townies doors. One morning he
and his friend Jen discover a magnificent rainbow in the Doctor’s garden and
Johnny vows to bring it home to his colourless cottage. He strikes a deal
with local witch Maisy Daly and so begins a fantastical journey of self
discovery. |
