The Dance of the Dagger

A telling of the life of Ossian, Fionn Mac Cumhaill’s son, by the author of Finn & The Fianna.

This telling focusses on the duality between Ossian’s life as warrior and poet, and on his later existence as an exile from the ancient world.

What is to to be a warrior and a poet? To spill blood in service of motherland; to dance on the tips of spears?

Daniel Allison draws on his background as a storyteller and Muay Thai fighter as he explores masculinity through an ancient and modern lens.
