## Snapshot

A towering, bold intruder whose sudden arrival at a wedding feast turns a merry Irish celebration into the threshold of something stranger.

## Who they are

Crohoore is the legendary figure whose name the wedding guests laugh about at the table—until the door springs back and he walks in, six foot eight and impossible to ignore. He belongs to the world of Irish fireside legend, where a bold man can be hero, ghost, or warning all at once. His entrance at the very moment the priest begins the ceremony is the pivot on which the tale's eerie comedy turns.
