Michael Collins, Kitty Kiernan and the forging of a nation.

As the War of Independence plays out in 1921 and Michael Collins and the Irish delegation head to London to negotiate the Anglo-Irish Treaty, one of the great love stories of Irish history develops.

Drawing from the legendary correspondence between Michael Collins and Kitty Kiernan, Collin’s compelling speeches, the gripping Dail debate on the Treaty and contemporaneous newspaper accounts of events; A Great Arrangement presents a vivid portrait of a unique couple and a divided country at an extraordinary time. With Dominic MacHale as Michael Collins and Irene Kelleher as Kitty Kiernan and featuring Mark D’Aughton, Paula McGlinchy and Michael Sands
