Arrah-na-pogue

Includes full cast list.

     Includes a brief description of the plot.  “Nothing is impossible to Boucicault—it is because he makes his characters accomplish such impossible things that his plays become so popular. Let all go to see this sensation, and observe what large audiences can be attracted by a mediocre play with impossible effects.”

     “The house is always well filled, and the liberal applause vouchsafed at each telling point indicates the absolute popularity of the play.”

     “‘Arrah-na-Pogue’ is now in its fourth week, and the cry is, ‘We are coming, Mr. Wheatley, one hundred thousand more.’  In fact, there are not enough nights in the week to satisfy the people who desire to see the new drama, and the manager announces an afternoon performance for Saturday, August 12th.”
