Storytelling with Will Hornyak: Tales of the Hedgerow

For over a century Irish language, history, and traditions were kept alive by men and women known as hedgerow teachers.  They traipsed the countryside of the Emerald Isle teaching in the shelter of hedgerows, barns, and botheys during the brutally repressive era of the Penal Codes. 

Storyteller William Kennedy Hornyak brings to life the spirit of a late-night hedgerow gathering with history, stories, songs, poems, and toasts in honor of those who instructed and inspired the minds and hearts of their people during those times.

For adult and older teen audiences (14+).
