During the summer months, when the pace of studies eases up in a secondary school, a delightful and light-hearted event took place involving a young lad named Seaghan. His friends at the school decided to involve him in a playful escapade, transforming him in ways that he had never experienced before, and that no stage production will ever capture again. In their enthusiasm, they adorned Seaghan in costumes and outfits that were entirely unique, creating a scene of unmatched merriment.

The youthful group of boys took charge, crafting a play according to their own imaginative ideas. They enacted scenes of love and romance, infusing their performances with the fiery passion that only young hearts can express. The earnestness and authenticity of their acting brought forth moments of comedic brilliance, tinged with an edge of potential tragedy. Particularly notable was the attention to detail, as the boys meticulously designed costumes that showcased their realism and creativity, pushing the boundaries of imagination.

Among the memorable characters were Seaghan himself, exuding a sense of friendship and camaraderie, and his beloved, whose voice resonated with touching pathos. Domhnall Og portrayed an Alderman of Limerick, representing the City of the Violated Treaty, contributing an additional layer of humorous depth to the unfolding narrative. These moments capture the essence of the joys that unfold in the less-traveled corners of any intellectual endeavour.
