by DAVID SCOTT and JEREMY JAMES TAYLOR
Music by RICHARD BRETT

| Suggested Age Range: | 11 upwards - best with a wide range. |
| Approx. Running Time: | 105 minutes [ + intervals] |
| Music: | A mixture of group and solo items of varying range; accompaniment written for seven-piece ensemble but could be simplified. |
| Set: | Prologue in an Irish hovel; Act I on a Liverpool dockside; Act II on board ship. The date is 1850. |
| Synopsis: | The desperation and
anticipation which pushed on the emigrants from Ireland and the exploitation of
children by those profiting from the transatlantic trade combine to create a
gripping drama which is splendidly balanced with beautiful ballads and sparky
humour. Every character is quickly identified and provides scope for young actors to work together in a tight production of one of the National Youth Music Theatre's acclaimed successes. |
