Written in 1864 and set during the Irish rebellion of 1798, Arrah-na-Pogue is an entertaining tale of romance and misadventure with rascally rebels, despicable villains and love-struck youths.
As night falls on the Wicklow mountains, popular rebel Beamish Mac Coul is lying in wait. He’s out to ambush Michael Feeny and relieve him of a ‘big lump of money’ from rent collected. That done, he’s off to marry Fanny Power. There’s no stopping our man Beamish!
Down in the valley, love is in the air for Shaun the Post and our heroine Arrah Meelish too. But Arrah has a secret which puts Shaun’s love to the test and his life in danger while the evil Michael Feeny tries to ensnare Arrah in his dastardly trap!
Now, love must conquer all – including the hangman’s noose.
