— “A white horse, a lost mother and the adventure of a lifetime”

Ally and Finn settle in the big city of Dublin, expecting a better life. But, trapped in mourning for their mother, they merely take care of Pa, who tries to drink away her memory. When a mythical horse trots into the scene, they race off into the Irish countryside. At the end of their journey is the sea, their father transformed and even a bit of what they’ve lost. With just three actors playing sixty roles, and with live music throughout, “Into the West” bursts with imagination and heart—and it’s perfect for the whole family.
