Description
Could peace come after? After what? Who will we be?Easter morning, 1916. Gunshots ring out in the Dublin streets. In her suburban sitting-room Hanna prepares for revolution.
Frank walks through the crowds calling for peace, while John recalls the trenches and sees a city soaked in blood.
Eighteen-year-old William fearfully reports to the barracks for duty, determined to serve the British army with honour.
Inspired by true events, this absorbing play weaves movement and folk song into a stirring tale of militarism, corruption and the power of rebellion. 'Vibrant and shocking. A fine new play [with] countless stirring scenes. that boils over with the chaos of war. Nunnery wears her research lightly and expresses her ideas in tumbling poetry, lively dialogue and haunting song.
Not a syllable or beat is wasted.' Guardian
