It's for young and old, family, revolutionaries, whatever. A tyrannical cyclops who rules a race of people called the Famorians, Balor's reign appears indestructible until the birth of his daughter, Eithne. A Druid predicts that Eithne will bear a son who will eventually slay Balor. This leads to Eithne's lonely imprisonment in a guarded tower. He had an evil eye in the middle of his forehead and if he looked at you with this eye, he could kill you with the force from his gaze.
Background music plays another significant role in the narration of the Irish tale.
The band consists of a keyboard, drums, guitar, saxophone and fiddle that is perched on the stage with the performers. In Gibbons' opinion, the music, entirely composed by musical director John Dunne, is instrumental in telling the story because it sets the mood for the actors during each scene. The actors very much respond and pace their performance on the music. They're inextricably linked. The whole base of it is that relationship between the actors and the music which you just don't get with a recorded soundtrack.
