“The Iron Harp” at Celtic Theatre Company

“The Iron Harp”
by Joseph O'Connor

This hostage drama takes place in an old Irish mansion maintained by Michael O'Riordon, an IRA officer who was recently blinded. He lives there with his young cousin, Molloy, and his "prisoner", and English Captain named John Tregarthen. Molly and John are more than friends. But when an IRA superior informs Michael that the Black and Tans are committing atrocities and a sacrifice must be made, he faces a moral dilemma - his country or his friend.
