24 Nov-3 Jan 2005."Unadulterated entertainment and fun" according to Irelands Sunday Tribune. Having broken all records during summer, The Shaughraun is back at the Abbey by popular demand and runs through till 3 Jannuary. Dion Boucicault's farcical play is energetic, comic and a gentle morality piece to boot. A smattering of 19th century Irish politics underpin the play and contrive to keep apart the various teams of lovers involved. Love will triumph in the end but only with the helping hand of Conn the Shaughraun and the paw of his dog Tatters.
