Eileen is lost. According to everyone else, her life is as beige as the back of a hand, so she hides in her headphones and lives quietly through other people’s stories. Auntie Breege has been laying on the pressure too—to get a husband. Any husband.
So when the mysterious disappearance of a dolphin, a celebrity folklorist, and the quest to find the Almanac of Old Lost Land falls into her lap, Eileen is set on the ultimate voyage of self-discovery...whether she likes it or not!
Inspired by writer and performer Aideen Wylde’s deep connection to the province of Newfoundland, Canada—her ‘backwards genealogy’—FOUND is a wild, and weirdly wonderful mishmash of traditions, from here and there, that make the Irish of both places ‘a people divided by time’.
