Juno

Based on the Sean O’Casey play Juno and the Paycock, Mark Blitzstein and Joseph Stein’s Juno chronicles the disintegration of an Irish family in Dublin in the early 1920s, during the “Troubles” between the Irish Republican Army and the British. Juno is the hardworking matriarch who struggles to hold the family together in the face of war, betrayal, and her worthless husband’s drinking.

Juno is presented as part of the 2008 Encores! Series at New York City Center.
