By Sir Christopher Bland
Venue: Jermyn Street Theatre
Dates: April 26th – 30th 2016
Performed on the one hundred year anniversary of the Irish Easter Rising, written by Christopher and adapted by myself and the company. Part docu-play, part anthology, part trad session.
“It’s a warm-hearted and moving evocation of a significant swathe of Irish history that is woefully underserved in the history textbooks and theatres of modern Britain… O’Briain’s production of Bland’s play is a deep, soulful and arresting exploration of a hugely important part of Irish – and British – history. ★★★★ Reviews Hub
“A first rate production that deserves a bigger house” ★★★★ London Theatre 1
“Brought to life by a fine cast… O’Briain’s production, often borne on by song, becomes an engaging mix of information, debate and entertainment; it’s a stimulating ninety minutes.” British Theatre Guide
