It was originally written for the stage as part of Shakesqueer Theater's production Ten Minute Movies. The feature was recorded as a radio play with the original cast. Stick around after the radio play for an interview with Inmn about collaborative theater and gay hobbits.

Seán Fitzgerald (they/he:Siad/Sé) ran an anarchist zine in Ireland In the late 1980s before turning to ancestral skills in 1993 in order to reclaim these practices for inner city communities. Fitzgerald continues this cultural regeneration work with ‘Dúchas na nDaoine,’ a volunteer-led community garden for recovery, fostering well being through story, heritage, and Irish language. Their previous work includes two highly illustrated books on Irish myths, Irish folk magic, and Ulster folklore.
