A Folk Musical based on a true Anglo-Irish story about the turbulent life of Sarah Kelly.

The story starts in 1800 and is told from her abduction from Kent to Ireland at only 15 years old, to a life of desolation and prostitution on the streets of Dublin. Her subsequent rise to become one of Irelands wealthiest landowners, to her violent and unsolved murder in 1856.

The story is told through music and dance, by combining traditional, contemporary and especially commissioned songs, all splendidly accompanied by narration and visuals throughout.
