Ferdia Lennon: Ancient Escapades

Ferdia Lennon’s been setting the heather on fire with his satirical debut, Glorious Exploits. It features two young Sicilian chancers who save a group of captured Athenian invaders from the quarries then put them to work staging a version of Medea instead. Join Lennon as he chats with Sasha de Buyl about humour, friendship, and what happens when you fuse contemporary Irish dialect with ancient Syracuse.
