Druid Theatre Company is reviving Dion Boucicault’s classic play, The Shaughraun, for this year’s Arts Festival. Its first Galway performance, in December 1876, followed sold-out runs on Broadway and in London’s West End. Though set in rural Sligo, The Shaughraun became associated with Galway, and specifically with Claddagh.
