SEAN O'CASEY
O'Casey was born in Lower Dorset
Street in Dublin in 1880. His background
was poor, working class, and Protestant.
It is undeniable that his early experiences of poverty, influenced not
only his writings, but his whole political
stance. The Dublin of O'Casey's
day was rich with characters, and the original
"Joxer Daly" (from O'Casey's play
Juno
And The Paycock ) and "Fluther Good" (from The
plough and the stars ) were
to be found on the streets of Dublin, and to be seen in the Dublin pubs.
They were all based on O'Casey's real experiences in tenement houses in
Dublin. When I saw Juno with my Mother and Grandmother in the Gate Theatre
in Dublin, I was converted to Seán O'Casey for life. I hope
to have a seperate website for O'Casey, named
after the street he was born in,
and shaped his early life. If you want to have a sneak preview, click here
