| Summary |
Written in 1864 and set during the Irish rebellion of 1798, 'Arrah-na-Pogue' is a rollicking tale of romance and misadventure with rascally rebels, despicable villains and love-struck youths. As night falls on the Wicklow mountains, the popular but incorrigible rebel Beamish MacCaul is lying in wait. He's out to ambush the cowardly rent-collector Michael Feeny and collect some rent from him in turn. That done, he's off to marry Fanny Power. Down in the valley, love is in the air for Shaun the Post and the play's heroine Arrah Meelish too. But Arrah has a secret, and Michael Feeny has found it out. As Shaun and Arrah celebrate their wedding, revenge comes a-calling. Now love must conquer all - including the hangman's noose. |
