ENTERTAINING, HUMOROUS AND HEARTFELT
Directed by ICTC Associate Director Greg Natale
Music Direction by Lori Crawford
Choreography by Samantha Kenney
In a seedy Dublin house-of-ill-repute, irrepressible characters sing, shout and carouse; their "bawdville" antics a stark contrast to the violence and brutality taking place outside the door.  Inside, a kidnapped enemy soldier is threatened with death if British authorities carry out the planned execution of an 18 year old member of the I.R.A.  In this riotous play with music, the gaiety and exuberance of the brothel patrons burst through the growing hostilities; and, as the deadly conflict rages, a tender, beautiful love story unfolds between the young captive and an innocent convent girl.
