“When war comes to Ireland she must welcome it as she would welcome the Angel of God!”
This re-interpretation of Seán O’Casey’s masterpiece (one part of his renowned ‘Dublin Trilogy’) explores the 1916 Easter Rising in Ireland through a modern lens, where national pain and collective rage erupt in a hellish dream, where distant heroes are pitched against survivors trapped in the crossfire of history.
As the quest for Irish independence ignites the streets, O’Casey’s sharp wit and unflinching depiction of ordinary people, expose the conflict between nationalist idealism and the harsh struggle for survival.
This production celebrates the play’s centenary; showcasing O’Casey’s unique ability to weave riotous comedy, social observation and human tragedy into a heart-shredding whole.
This Plough and the Stars is performed by graduating acting students and supported by Technical Theatre Arts students from Bristol School of Acting.
