“Th’ time is rotten ripe for revolution.” 

Set amid the tumult of Ireland’s 1916 Easter Rising, The Plough and The Stars is the story of ordinary lives ripped apart by idealism and revolution. The residents of a Dublin tenement shelter from the violence that sweeps through the city’s streets. A battle that will shape the country’s future rages around them. What kind of Ireland awaits them? When The Plough and the Stars was first performed at the Abbey Theatre in 1926, the audience rioted. 

However, the play was otherwise successful, receiving wide acclaim both in Ireland and abroad. Drawing from his own childhood and experiences with the Irish labor movement and in the Irish Citizen ArmyThe Plough and the Stars is among O’Casey’s most complex, masterful & autobiographical works.
