The Grandmother Giant Royal Deluxe Limerick
The Royal Deluxe's Granny arrived into Limerick by train this morning at the start of her three day journey through the City of Limerick.
The Story:
One day an Irish Grandmother Giant, having fallen from the sky, found herself spread-eagled in a potato field in the middle of Munster. The peasants, who were surprised by her apparition, put her up in a barn on their property, and they fed and took care of her every day as best they could.
However, after a certain amount of time, they couldn’t afford to keep her anymore and so they put her on a train to Limerick. To welcome her, men built up a wall of light, made of car lights, like the stars of a tidy galaxy. As soon as she had arrived at the railway station, she was greeted by thousands of people who had come from all over Ireland.
The world renowned Royal de Luxe street theatre company unleashed its Giant Saga on the unsuspecting Irish public this September 5th-7th, an original tale, developed and specially scripted for the city of Limerick. Limerick will be transformed as the massive Giant rambles through the streets, transfixing audiences for 72 hours of free entertainment.
Young and old will rub shoulders as they follow the Giant’s progress on its epic three day journey. Already more than 18 million spectators have been moved by the universal sagas of the Giant’s stories and the ‘Limerick Story’ will soon be part of this international saga and make a mark on the collective memory of the city for future generations.
