The Secret


This foreboding allegory tells the tale of a stranger arriving in a land tormented by history. He emerges through the fog with a secret however the warring giants and pygmies are too entrenched in their futile anger to heed his message. What is the great secret this dignified stranger carries and will anyone listen before it is too late?It was written by Cyril Farrell and produced by Terence McDonald during the early years of violent sectarian conflict in Northern Ireland.
