Production
When a leprechaun and a trooping fairy fall in love, an old feud rears its head and soon war is declared between the two magical factions.  Businessman Jack Woods is the reluctant hero chosen to mediate between the opposing sides, before the destruction and misery foreseen by the Grand Banshee can come to pass.  A light-hearted fantasy tale.

Zoe is often described as 'pixie-like', and here she is given the chance to play a leprechaun!  In an interview with Metro (scroll down page to final question), Zoe recalled how much she had enjoyed filming this production.
