Juno and the Paycock
Sean O'Casey
Ah, what can God do agen the stupidity o' men!
Dublin, 1922. The Irish Civil War is tearing the nation apart. In the cauldron of the family's tiny tenement flat, Juno Boyle, a beleaguered matriarch whose sharp wit is a survival tool, struggles to make ends meet and keep the family together. Her husband, 'Captain' Jack Boyle, fancies himself a ship's commander but sails no further than the pub. Then providence comes knocking with news of a great inheritance.
Sean O'Casey's tragicomic masterpiece was first performed at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, in 1924, and revived at the Gielgud Theatre, London, in September 2024.
'The power of Juno and the Paycock never fails to surprise and enthral and inspire. Its violent passion, its deep humanity, its bubbling humour and its appalling tragedy are soaked in the very spirit of Ireland itself.' Daily Mail
