Based on ancient Irish folklore, Midnight Court weaves together two tales, that of Aengus, God of Love, and Aibell, Goddess of the Banshees. Aibell steals men away from their marital beds and castrates them for not pleasing their wives adequately. Aengus just loves love! So when Aengus makes two humans, Rowan and Eabha, fall in love and get married, and Rowan fails to fulfill Eabha’s needs, Aibell and her banshees steal him away. Now, Eabha and Aengus must journey through Ireland to convince Aibell to give him back. A wet, wild, and whacky exploration of love, lust, and partnership, Midnight Court uses humor, mysticism and eroticism to discuss real world issues such as the orgasm gap, toxic relationships, female friendships, and gatekeeping.
