The Plough and the Stars

The Plough and the Stars by Sean O’Casey.

The Plough and the Stars was the banner of the Irish Citizen Army during the Easter Rising in 1916. Ten years later O'Casey's new play sparked off riots in Dublin. The story has been told not as in history books, but through the eyes of ordinary people inhabiting a Dublin tenement.

O'Casey's masterpiece paints a vivid portrait of a city and a nation in turmoil.
