Zoz

Synopsis:
Zoz is based on the life of Michael Moran, one of the most colourful characters and prolific bards in early 19th-century Dublin. He was known affectionately as Zozimus, after one of his famous recitations. Many of the songs used in the play are reconstructions from known fragments, and others are original songs to traditional airs in the style of Zozimus.
