Killarney Musical Society By arrangement with Michael Collins Production Trust presents Michael Collins – A Musical Drama
Michael Collins is a dramatisation of a changing period in Ireland’s history, but furthermore, it is the story of how love and politics inflamed the period. It is the story of the emergence of the Irish Nation which is set to music. This production brings the 1916 Easter Rising, the War of Independence and the Civil War to life while also telling a beautiful and moving love story. It is a gripping and powerful drama of one man’s battle for peace that cost him his life and a story that has changed Irish history forever.
