PlotAn antiwar play in four acts, focusing on Harry Heegan, a soldier who goes to war as if going to a football match.
The play's study of Harry’s loss of many of his life’s hopes during and after the war, marks it as unusual. Production historyIn 1928, W. B. Yeats rejected the play for the Abbey Theatre in Dublin. It premièred at the Apollo Theatre in the West End of London on 11 October 1929.[3] It was directed by Raymond Massey and starred Charles Laughton and Barry Fitzgerald. The set design for act two was by Augustus John. It ran for twenty-six performances. George Bernard Shaw and Lady Gregory were both great admirers of the production. Its Irish première was on 12 August 1935 at the Abbey Theatre, directed by Arthur Shields, though it ran for only five performances. Despite being popular, the controversy it caused led to O'Casey's permanent departure from Ireland.[4] The first major production in England was by the RSC at the Aldwych Theatre, London, directed by David Jones, which opened on 10 September 1969 with Richard Moore as Harry Heegan. More recent productions include a 1995 production at the Almeida Theatre, a 2010 tour of Ireland (along with performances in The Lowry in Manchester and the Oxford Playhouse) by the Druid Theatre Company.[5][6] and a 2014 production at London's National Theatre.[7] AdaptationsMark Anthony Turnage adapted the play as an opera under the same title in 1999. The Druid Theatre Company adapted the play as part of the 2010 Dublin Theatre Festival starring Aaron Monaghan as Harry Heegan. See also
