This is the first production written by Rhys Mannion and performed by a very talented and experienced group of Irish actors.
Dawn na Dorcha is a new-style musical about the Irish Famine. It follows two young characters as they fight for survival while experiencing the darker side of the world around them.
This story, while fictional, tells of true moments in Irish history. Irish revolutionaries, workhouses, trials of emigration and fears of the Irish people are all addressed in the storyline. Many of the songs are relevant in today’s world.
