About the production
Written by: Richardson and Berney
Directed by: Paddy O’Dwyer
Set in the Smokey Mountains of rural America and is based on the ballad of Barbara Allan:
A witch boy from the mountain came
A pinin’ to be human
For he had seen the fairest gal
A gal named Barbara Allan
O Conjur Man, O Conjur Man
Please do this thing I’m wantin’
Please change me to a human man
For Barbara I be courtin’
Now Barbara had a red red dress
And she had one blue
For many men did Barbara love
But never was she true
O you can be a man, a man
If Barbara will not grieve you
If she be faithful for a year
Yer eagle he will leave you
O Barbara will you marry me
And will you leave me never
