March 23, 1999 to March 27, 1999
Directed by Richard Stevenson
A stark, uncompromising tragedy which unsparingly shows that Irish gaiety and song are the despairing camourflage for a dirge. It is the waste that is tragic - Juno's staunchness has to suffer a shiftless strutting husband, 'Captain' Jack Boyle, the 'Paycock' of the title. True, there are moments of raucous comedy, but they are satire, O' Casey's revelations by antihesis. Period 1922.
