This Dublin-set, modern day musical is about a singer/guitar player who makes money by working in his father’s vacuum shop and a Czechoslovakian girl who makes money by looking after her mother and her young daughter. One day when they meet, they learn more about each other, and the girl helps him make a cd that he can take to London with him and find someone to give him a contract. While working together, they discover their love for one another.
“Far and Away”
A young emigrant leaves Ireland and comes to America, accompanied by the landlord’s daughter who was previously in a fight with her father. They travel together to Oklahoma in early 1893. After getting jobs to upkeep their house and to save up money, the young man is beaten while at work and the people he works with steal all of their money and leave them with nothing. They are left with the struggle of staying alive during the harsh winter. All they want is to own an abundance of land, but will all of that be taken away from them when the Landlord, the girl’s father, and his wife find out where she went and they come to look for her?
