The Shaughraun

With its wild and intricate plot, The Shaughraun is an incredible mixture of whirlwind melodrama and merry Celtic moonshine, including a Fenian rebel on the run,a police spy in league with the British soldiery, separated loves, secret letters, a brave Irish priest, a forlorn Irish mother, a series of multiple escapes over bogs and cliffs, gunshots and falling bodies, and an inexhaustible supply of tricks.
