On Eagle’s Wing is based on the history of the Scots-Irish.

Innovative and spectacular in its presentation, the story is set in both the past and the present, but the themes are timeless and universal.

Anthony Van Laast and Ian Mc Elhinney headed the creative team and the show premiered at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast on the 28th May, where it was filmed by American TV channel PBS, for broadcast during December 2004.

What the press said…

"There is nothing small or modest about this epic retelling of the 17th-century migration of the Ulster Scots - particularly in the roof-raising fusion of the music and dance traditions of Ireland, Scotland and America."
Jane Coyle, The Stage

"The smash hit homespun musical took Belfast by storm."
Johnny Caldwell, The Newsletter
