    Public

    Banshee premiered in Canberra at the Australian National Gallery Theatre (now the James O. Fairfax Theatre, National Gallery of Australia) on 27 May 1989. The work was inspired by the abstract forms and textures of early Celtic art and by the eerie magic of Irish folk tales. It was presented by the Meryl Tankard Company in conjunction with the National Gallery's exhibition Irish Gold and Silver.

    Banshee was conceived of and directed by Meryl Tankard and was performed to music composed by Colin Offord, who performed on stage with the dancers. Visual design was by Regis Lansac and costumes were designed by Dorothy Herel. The original cast was Alison Brazier, Julia Finkenauer, Roz Hervey, Alan Knoepfler and Patrick Maguire. Banshee has never been restaged.
