    The cast and character lists for this entry are drawn from reviews of the premiere productions. As such, they should be taken as approximate.

  • Achoimre

    A farce featuring Colonel Sylvester, a unionist seeking election in a tough constituency. The central issue is the hill of Knocknarea, which an English manufacturer wishes to use as the basis of a new industry, whilst locals claim it as the fitting site for a new Orange hall. Complications build up steadily in the hotly-contested campaign, particularly with the arrival of women sufragettes, and the suspicious drugging of the town's water supplies. In the end, however, the Colonel is elected by a slender margin, and the manufacturer departs in disgust.
