Sean O'Casey

Dublin, 1922. The Irish Civil War is tearing the nation apart. In the cauldron of the family's tiny tenement flat, Juno Boyle, a beleaguered matriarch whose sharp wit is a survival tool, struggles to make ends meet and keep the family together. Her husband, 'Captain' Jack Boyle, fancies himself a ship's commander but sails no further than the pub. Then providence comes knocking with news of a great inheritance.
Poetic, poignant, and hilarious, Sean O'Casey's tragicomic masterpiece was revived at the Gielgud Theatre, London, in September 2024.
