This play was written for 8-11 year olds and explores the relevance of folklore, history and conservation issues in contemporary life..
When Peter and Jenny spend the Hallow'een holidays with their Aunt Roberta in Ballyraven, they are plunged into an adventure which takes them to the heart of fairyland itself. Morrigan's Mound, home of the Little People, is under threat from the property developers. With the help of the mysterious Soft Seamus the children fight to save the sacred place and reveal the real secrets of Morrigan's Mound. This play draws on folklore, myth and legend and archaeology to examine the place of the síde or mound in the Irish landscape.
