In a mythical Irish village two hypocritical local worthies are overwhelmed with guilt by their attraction to the natural joys of life by strong-willed and seductive young women. Based around true events and laced with Irish, English and Scottish folk tales, wildly fanciful characters of mystical imagery; this madcap vision of mid-twentieth century Irish rural life symbolises the constant struggle between repression and liberty. First performed in the UK in 1949, it was very controversial and regarded anti-Catholic. Banned in Ireland and New York, it was not produced in O’Casey’s native country until 1977.

Unlike film, theatre doesn't have an official age classification organisation. That means all age recommendations are subjective and should be treated as guidelines unless otherwise stated. With this in mind, we ask you to use your judgement in regards to a show’s suitability prior to purchase. However, we are more than happy to help you make a decision.
