One hundred years ago, five Irish plenipotentiaries, accompanied by a large delegation of men and women, arrived in London to begin the negotiations that concluded with thesigning of the Anglo-Irish Treaty, a landmark moment in British and Irish history that led to the establishment of the Irish State.

The Treaty was co-commissioned by Fishamble and Pavilion Theatre. This production is part of the Embassy of Ireland’s programme to mark the centenary of the Anglo-Irish Treaty Centenary with support from Culture Ireland, the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media, the Department of Foreign Affairs, and the British Irish Chamber of Commerce.
