The Body & Blood is a 19th Century Irish Famine Folk Fable told in verse in five episodic films (see the films below). It is the Story of Maggie Murtagh, an Irish country girl who transmogrifies into a vigilante cannibal nun during the famine. She steals from the rich to give to the starving poor. She eats the colonisers; becomes an addict; and destroys her soul.

The Body & Blood is an original idea written, produced, designed and performed by CAROL MURPHY. It was launched online on 10th January 2022. The first live performance was at The Black Box, Belfast, on 15th May 2022. Murphy toured the show in 2023 and brought it to VAULT Festial, London; The Cathedral Quarter Arts Festival, Belfast; The Courthouse, Bangor; The Lyric Lounge, Belfast; and Smock Alley Theatre, Dublin.
