Kwaku has started Shane Hegarty's Christmas story

Shane Hegarty is an Irish author for young audiences. His bestselling Darkmouth series, about a reluctant monster hunter, has been translated into over a dozen languages and a major animated film is in the works.

Shane's Christmas story starter 'Something In The Living Room' is read by actor Kwaku Fortune. Kwaku was recently seen in Normal People on RTÉ and the BBC and on stage in Asking For It in Cork and Dublin.

 

Is í Muireann Ní Raghallaigh a léifidh scéal Shane do 12 Scéal na Nollag. Is aisteoir Éireannach í Muireann a bhíonn le feiscint ar an stáitse agus an scáileán. Bíonn sí ag obair trí mheán na Gaeilge agus an Bhéarla. Bíonn sí ag aisteoireacht ar Ros na Rún, sraith Ghaeilge ar TG4.

We want you to finish your story and then, read it to your family at home on Christmas Day, or send a video to your relatives who can't meet you because of Covid. It would be a lovely surprise.

You can watch and read all of The 12 Stories of Christmas in English and in Irish by visiting Fighting Words and Graffiti Theatre Company. You can download the digital storybook too!
