Blyth Festival: The Donnellys: A Trilogy, St. Nicholas Hotel: Part II

With grit, and unbridled ambition, the Donnelly brothers strike out to find their fortunes. When the enterprising William Donnelly starts a stagecoach line running North from London, together the boys drive horses, freight, and passengers to great success. However, they are also drawing the resentment and rage of their rivals. And so begin the fabled Stage Coach Wars.

When barns burn, horses go missing (or worse), the constabulary can’t keep the boys in line, and the courtrooms fail to contain them, others take action. Justice gets meted out ankle-deep in the muddy roads, or above the din in the beer-drenched taverns. Or at least, until some of those stagecoach rivals start forming a secret society of their own in the Cedar Swamp…

High romance, barroom brawls, and an irrepressible instinct to raise hell on the Roman Line.
