LADY BETTY
"Based on a true myth," this animated tale unfolds in a cozy corner of a country pub, where two old friends (voiced by Colm Meany and David Pearse) while away the evening trading tall tales. Soon they begin telling the story of Lady Betty, the first and only female executioner in Ireland. As the men talk, we are zipped back to the late 1700s, to a lonely shack on the edge of town where Betty Sugrue — Lady Betty — and her son eke out a meager existence. Told through Paddy and Mick's distinctive style of storytelling, which mostly involves constantly interrupting each other and arguing, we learn about the hard and twisted life of Lady Betty.
