Set in a tenement building in the Dublin slums, May 1920, The Shadow Of A Gunman charts the daily lives of its occupants: the peddlar, Seumas Shields, and the poet, Donal Davoren. They talk, dream and tease out their hours like an urban Vladimir and Estragon: trapped between the rock of the IRA and the hard place of the infamous Black and Tans. High comedy combines blends whimsically with the tragedy of lives lived under a brutal occupying power, to create one of the great plays of the 20th century.
Dominic Dromgoole returns to the Tricycle to direct the first play of O’Casey’s Dublin Trilogy.

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.
