Set against the backdrop of Ireland, England and America in the 19th century, Essence of Ireland tells the sort of love, joy, happiness and heartache endured by Coro McGowen and Sean Dempsey as they are separated by emigration from each other and their beloved Ireland. Based on true events, Essence of Ireland is a heartbreaking yet heart-warming story brought to life and set against the music and dance of Ireland, the USA and Spain. With Irish classics such as “Galway Girl”, “Emigrant Eyes”, “Tell me Ma”, “Irish Rover” along with original scores, Essence of Ireland is the most complete Irish show in the world today.
