Experience Description
The Story of the Irish is a guided tour through a 10,000 year old story
combining the use of professional actors as live storytellers, the latest digital
systems and special effects to enhance the visitor experience. A live actor,
playing a Celtic god, guides visitors through the millennia and with the help
of on screen actors and rare cinematic content, the visitors move through
6 Time Chambers.
With a specially written script, music score and personalised audio equipment,
the visitors experience 10,000 years of Irish cultural triumphs, they feel the
defiance of the Irish as they fight against annihilation and they watch them
rise up from their cultural ashes to once again become a vibrant people.
