Plot Synopsis

Whiskey in the Jar tells the story of Molly, a feisty inn-keeper’s daughter, who is in love with the Rory, the dashing local blacksmith.   Rory also moonlights as a Robin Hood-type highway-man, in which guise he fatally crosses Captain Farrell, a newly appointed officer out to make a name for himself.

Set against the backdrop of the ancient pagan Festival of Lughnasa – which gives scope for earthy humour, song and dance – the pacy story unfolds with Captain Farrell forcing Molly into a situation whereby to save her father’s life she must betray her lover.

Further twists and turns see Molly helping Rory to escape, Molly and Rory being re-captured by Captain Farrell’s men, and Captain Farrell making an unexpected move in a bid to win Molly’s affections.

Which of her suitors will Molly choose?  Either choice will bring heartache, drama - and rock 'n' roll!
