DruidO’Casey: Sean O’Casey’s Dublin Trilogy

“Magnificent.” — The Irish Examiner “The season’s most exciting international visit.” — The New Yorker One of the greatest stories ever told. A century ago, Ireland was reborn in the fires of rebellion and war. The playwright Sean O’Casey bore witness to these seismic events and dramatized them as the Dublin Trilogy, three great works of Irish theatre, full of history, humanity and humor. 100 years later, the internationally acclaimed theater company Druid will weave O’Casey’s three plays into an epic theatrical event of conflict, national identity and the human toll of war. Audiences will experience O’Casey’s work as never before: directed by Tony Award winner Garry Hynes, a company of 18 actors will perform the three plays in one day, drawing parallels between an Irish past and an international present. This North American Premiere is presented in partnership with The Public Theater.
