The Upstart Crow theatre company’s current production of Sean O’Casey’s “Juno and the Paycock” runs Thanksgiving week through December 6 at the Carsen Theatre at the Dairy Center 2590 Walnut, Boulder CO.
Juno and the Paycock is a play by Sean O’Casey, and one of the most highly regarded and often performed plays in Ireland. It was first staged at the Abbey Theatre in Dublin in 1924. It is set in the working class tenements of Dublin in the early 1920s, during the Irish Civil War period.
It is the second of his well-known “Dublin Trilogy” – the other two being The Shadow of a Gunman (1923) and The Plough and the Stars (1926).
COME EARLY! Dan McNellan will be performing traditional Irish folk songs and ballads for each performance starting 20 minutes before curtain.
