 Stan McGowan’s highly acclaimed sell out show tells the moving story of the death of the young and beautiful Prehen House estate heiress, Miss Mary Ann Knox, who died by the hand of her much older lover, Mr John McNaughten.

Was the fatal shot that killed her an accident? Or was it an act of deliberate intent in order to seek revenge from her overprotective father, whose opposition to their marriage would lead to this most tragic drama?

The story has engrained itself, down through the centuries, into the consciousness of the North West, having previously been brought to the stage for the first time at The Playhouse to great acclaim.

Set against the background of Ascendency Londonderry two hundred and fifty years ago, this stunning production is a perceptive portrayal of Georgian manners… and ill manners!
