EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from Sean O'Casey's iconic play, The Plough and the Stars, first performed in 1926. Three talented actors bring the characters to life on stage at the National Theatre production in London's Olivier Theatre in 1977.
From left to right, we see Carmel McSharry portraying Mrs Gogan with authenticity and depth. Cyril Cusack embodies Fluther Good with his powerful presence and emotive performance. Oliver Maguire takes on the role of Captain Brennan of the Irish Citizen Army, exuding strength and determination in his uniform with a sword by his side.
The setting is a pub scene where these characters come together against the backdrop of Ireland's nationalism and political turmoil. Each actor brings their unique interpretation to their roles, creating a compelling narrative that resonates with audiences.
As they sit around a table or stand tall in their respective positions, we are transported back to Dublin during the Easter Rising through O'Casey's masterful storytelling. This print is not just a snapshot from a play; it is a glimpse into history, brought to life by these talented performers who breathe new life into O'Casey's timeless work.
