Did you know?
- Cushla ma chree is an anglicised Irish phrase meaning ‘pulse of my heart’, a term of endearment.
- Irish dramas were hugely popular on the Victorian stage, helped by the success of Dion Boucicault’s The Colleen Bawn (1860).
- The name recalls Eugène François Vidocq, the former criminal who became the first head of the French Sûreté and inspired many stage and fictional detectives.
