It tells the story of a couple who long for a child, be it as beautiful as a snowdrop or as prickly as a hedgehog! The storyteller spins a tale bursting with magic and enchantment; of a boy bewitched, a giant cockerel, a king lost in a forest and a promise never to be broken. The Hedgehog Prince is based on an old traditional folktale and uses puppetry, object theatre and original music, which will enchant young and old alike. Suitable for children aged 5+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Sunday 15 March, The John O\u2019Connor Writing\nSchool presents a reading of \u2018Come Day, Go Day\u2019. John O\u2019Connor\u2019s novel \u2018Come\nDay, Go Day\u2019 is a loving evocation of Armagh\u2019s Mill Row, of a people, a time,\nand a place long gone. From the poignancy of Teasie\u2019s story, to the\nexhilaration of the Bullet Match, to the tragedy of Vincent Kelly and his dog\nGyp. Come and celebrate this unique and wonderful work, adapted and read by\nArmagh-born actor and writer Karl O\u2019Neill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then on Monday 16th<\/sup> March, we have\na film screening of the documentary \u2018The Peacemaker\u2019. A New York Times Critics’\nPick and multi-award winning film, \u2018The Peacemaker\u2019 is an intimate portrait of\ninternational peacemaker Padraig O’Malley – who helps make peace for others but\nstruggles to find it for himself. The film takes us from Padraig’s isolated\nlife in Cambridge, Massachusetts to some of the most dangerous crisis zones on\nEarth, as he works a peacemaking model based on his recovery from addiction. We\nare delighted that Padraig O\u2019Malley will be joining us for a short Q&A\nafter the screening. This is a free event although tickets should be\npre-booked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tickets for all events can be purchased by\ncontacting the Box Office on [028] 3752 1821, or online at www.marketplacearmagh.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
