Description
The Colleen Bawn is a play by Dion Boucicault, first performed in 1874. It tells the story of an Irishman's love for his mistress and his subsequent attempts to win her hand in marriage.
Costumes from the play are described as including a green broad-skirted body coat, double-breasted light silk waistcoat, leather pantaloons, top boots, and a steeple-crowned gold-laced hat. Other characters wear different outfits, each reflecting their social status and occupation.
The play is notable for its portrayal of Irish life in the 19th century, with its themes of love, loyalty, and social class still relevant today.
