Synopsis:
For anyone who has ever tried to untangle a family anecdote, or wished they knew more about where they came from. This is an exploration. I want to tell a story - well, my family's story. Some of it may be true and some may not. There was a song my mom used to sing to me, which her father sang to her. It may have been Irish (that's where he came from) or even American (that's where I come from). Or possibly Scottish (weird, because none of us are from Scotland). Using poetry and live folk music, this show is for anyone who has ever tried to untangle a family anecdote, or wished they knew more about where they came from.
