In 1800s Ireland, the Cleary family are visited by a family friend named Jack Dunne, who specializes in the art of traditional Irish folklore. Upon noticing Bridget Cleary’s independence and her struggling marriage to Michael, he convinces Michael that Bridget has been replaced with a “sidhe” (pronounced “shee”) - an Irish fairy reminiscent of a witch, much to the horror of Bridget’s sister and children. This play is based on the historical account of Bridget Cleary’s accusation and blends fairy tales and folklore with historical events.
