O Carolan Pageant Programme
O Carolan Pageant Programme
An O'Carolan festival was held in Kilmainhamwood in 1970 to celebrate the tricentenary of the birth of O'Carolan. Members of the pageant included Carolan as a boy and as an adult, Bridget Cruise, Mrs MacDermottroe and her husband and some of the patrons for whom Carolan composed music. The pageant was written and directed by Proinnsias O Duigneain. The whole community was involved in the production which had an elaborate script, thirteen different scenes, various stage sets, multiple props and a small army of actors and stage assistants. The pageant was performed six times in June and July 1970.
