The Shaughraun - Melbourne Theatre Company 1994

by Dion Boucicault

The Shaughraun is a melodramatic play written by Irish playwright Dion Boucicault. It was first performed at Wallack's Theatre, New York, on 14 November 1874.Boucicault played Conn in the original production. The play was a huge success, making half a million dollars for Boucicault, which he squandered. The Shaughraun was met with great success upon its first production in New York (1874). Understandably so as the play possesses a sort of Fenian hero, and the United States is credited as the country where the Fenian movement was first initiated. It was met with equal success in its London production (1875)[5] at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane in a production staged by F. B. Chatterton.

The original production and cast is praised by the protagonist, Newland Archer, in Edith Wharton's 1920 novel The Age of Innocence which is set in 1870s New York.
