Playwriting (25) Sean O'Casey

Sean O'Casey (1880-1963) was born into a lower middle class family in Dublin and went on to establish a successful career as a playwright at the Abbey Theatre during the 1920s.  The most celebrated plays of this era are "The Shadow of a Gunman" (1923), "Juno and the Paycock" (1924), and "The Plough and the Stars" (1926).

Over the next few weeks, I capture episodes of the National Theatre: Playwriting series. These are instrumental lessons, as I work at my play "The Room." The above are my notes.
