The world’s in the grip of change for Juno and her peacock of a husband – a daughter flirting with marriage and politics, a civil war outside the door, a son wounded and hiding from the
conflict. Could the reading of a will bring stability and status to the Boyle household?
Hilarity and tragedy rub shoulders in Sean O’Casey’s classic Irish drama set in Dublin 1922, featuring his trademark mix of comic double acts, political upheavals, domestic longings, and characters
who are never far away from an opulent word or song.
The cast includes Niamh Cusack (The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night Time for the National Theatre, Playboy Of The Western World at The Old Vic and ITV’s Heartbeat) as Juno and Des McAleer (The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists at the Everyman, Hunger for Icon Productions and BBC’s Casualty) as Captain Boyle.
