Michael Collins- A Musical Drama

Fly the flag of freedom high...
Promotional piece on "Michael Collins- A Musical Drama", the new Irish musical, written and directed by Bryan Flynn.
An Epic Musical Drama, which vividly brings to life the events of the 1916 Rising, the War of Independence and the Irish Civil War.
Subject: FLYING THE FLAG IN DUBLIN

'Michael Collins' previewed last Thursday 7th May at the Olympia Theatre Dublin and received a prolongued standing ovation from the appreciative audience. The official opening night on Friday 8th saw the same reaction and on Saturday last a packed Olympia Theatre again stood and cheered even before the final curtain. The reviews have been fantastic across the board (Ryan Tubridy's show called it 'a Resounding Success') and the box office is inundated. There are 12 more performances at the Olympia (closing on Sat May 23rd). The show will be back at Cork Opera House for a 10 night run from July 23rd.

@CKSmith425

Thanks for your interest. The funds dried up when the recession came along. The best I can do is ask Bryan Flynn (writer/director) again and hope to have some good news for you soon... ;)

[Fink87]

Excellent news. By cast recording do you mean a cd or dvd?

[Istolealoafofbread]

It'll be a CD Fink, and also available to download.
