Olivier Award-winning director Sean Holmes brings his critically acclaimed production of Sean O’Casey’s absorbing The Plough and the Stars to the Lyric Hammersmith from March 2018.
Set amid the tumult of the Easter Rising, The Plough and the Stars tells the story of ordinary lives ripped apart by the idealism of the time.
The residents of a Dublin tenement shelter from the violence that sweeps through the city’s streets. A revolution that will shape the country’s future rages around them. What kind of Ireland awaits them?
Transferring to the London stage following a sell-out season at the Abbey Theatre as part of 100th-anniversary celebrations of the 1916 Easter Rising, The Plough and the Stars is a dynamic re-imagining, loyal to the spirit of the play whilst bringing contemporary resonances for a modern audience.
First performed at the Abbey Theatre in 1926 where audience rioted, The Plough and the Stars is now regarded as a masterpiece and an essential part of our understanding of Ireland in 1916.
A Lyric Hammersmith and Abbey Theatre production - supported by Culture Ireland as part of GB18: Promoting Irish Arts in Britain.
