Celtic Exodus – The Musical

This event has ended

The Complex, Wednesday 22nd January - Saturday 25th January

Celtic Exodus tells the story of star-crossed lovers trapped by a family feud in the village of Kilturk in Ireland of the 1840s.

As famine descends on the nation the families of young Sean McDonagh and Siobhan Buckley struggle with survival in the face of crop failure, starvation, and merciless oppression by landlords and British Government agents.

The young lovers must hide their forbidden passion, yet find a way to somehow unite their clans in defiance of these challenging times.

Ultimately, the young lovers will be forced to join the hordes of Irish people who leave their beloved homeland in the first great wave of the Celtic Exodus.

Love songs, poetry, rousing ballads and epic choreography bring the story to life in a celebration of who we are, where we came from, and how in exile we shared our unique Irish culture with the rest of the world.
