Conor McPherson tells us he got the idea when visiting St. Nicholas Church in Kilkenny, where he was surprised by the gothic gargoyles and “horror film” icons about the place. Perhaps he was even taken with one of the oldest legends that tells of a little child, stolen away by gypsies to be their slave, but magically restored by St. Nicholas to his home when his service is complete, bearing a golden cup.

In this case it is the story of a cynical, aging man who lives life like a bloodsucker, while pining for earlier times of innocence and hope, like Christmas Eve when his children were small. His tale plunges us into a dark world, and we don’t clap “if we believe in fairies”, but we can cheer for the man to be restored and embrace his life in the present. To be redeemed. We can drop our teens off at the cineplex for the latest vampire epic, and then indulge ourselves in a bit of adult blarney. We can use our imaginations, be “cradled” in the music of Conor McPherson’s language, and enjoy the immense talent of Dana Hart as tour guide on this great adventure. As the playwright says “…and for me, that’s full of mischief.” Be Merry!</span></div>
