Aiming to once more bring the names of a selection of popular Irish actors to the fore, Slapstick and the Shillelagh takes its five subjects and revisits their lives and their contributions in early silent movies. Whilst navigating their early life in Ireland, it then follows their journey to America and onto the silver screen where they made significant impacts on audiences and reached the pinnacle of stardom. It follows their highs and lows and looks at who they were both as actors and as people who never forgot where they came from. Each has a story that needs to be told and their names need to once more be in the spotlight. Kate Price, Creighton Hale, Douglas Gerrard, Charles Gerrard and the Moore Brothers worked hard, led interesting and colourful lives and each reached the heights of stardom and then saw themselves and their careers slowly wind down.
