A rip-roaring romantic adventure
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.
Enjoy Arrah-na-Pogue - a rollicking good tale of romance and misadventure with rascally rebels, villainous villains, love struck young ‘uns … and sheep.
Delightful entertainment for all the family.

Hello! I’ve just returned from a trip to Dublin where I had the pleasure of going to see Arrah-na-Pogue. What a wonderfully charming performance! I had never attended a play before and I was completely enchanted! Thank you for a fun and entertaining evening!

A delight all round for our family, from our 11-year-old son to his 80+ year-old grandfather. Fine performances from all—a wonderful mix of scenes that are laugh-out-loud and those that touch your heart.

A great production - and how nice to have an alternative to the ‘panto’ to bring an older child/teenager to. The set was outstanding. And the cast were brilliant one and all; no uneveness in the standards of performance.

Can’t wait to be back again-saw the seafarer with my dad on his birthday last year-a great laugh-it was one of the best times I ever had :) Have no doubts that Arrah-na-Pogue will live up to it.
