The Druid Theatre Company is touring the country to perform the iconic Dublin Trilogy of plays by Sean O'Casey.
The writer lived and worked in Ireland during a period of immense change. During his life, he was both loved and loathed. Not known to many, the famous filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock produced his own adaptation of Sean O’Casey’s 'Juno and the Paycock'.
