About the Show:

Jacqueline and John F Kennedy were, for a brief period during the twentieth century, the ultimate power couple.

An enigma to the outside world, Jackie had long confided in an Irish chaplain, a contemporary and associate of Michael Collins, Lady Lavery and George Bernard Shaw, whom she befriended when visiting Ireland in 1950 and who became her spiritual advisor.

Widely revered as an icon of elegance and grace, Jackie was by JFK’s side on the road to the White House and she herself was a champion of civil rights and the arts.

Jackie was beside JFK on that fateful day when he was struck down by an assassin’s bullet.

Through the lens of an enduring friendship with her Irish chaplain, the mystery, the contradictions and the tragedy of Jackie's life is revealed.

The Devil’s in the Dance Hall

The Séamus Ennis Arts Centre

The Devils in the Dance Hall is a powerful, joyous live performance rooted in Irish social history, music, and resistance, inspired by the true story of Jimmy Gralton and the suppression of Ireland’s rural dance halls in the early 20th century; time when gathering to dance, to play music, and to think freely was seen as a threat. Drawing on oral history, folk memory, and the energy of the big-band era, Edwina Guckian has created an immersive theatre performance that brings to life the world of the parish hall as a place of movement, learning, courtship, argument, and possibility, and asks wh
