What is Juno and the Paycock about?
‘What can God do against the stupidity of men?’
Dublin, 1922, the Irish Civil War is tearing the nation apart. In the cauldron of the family’s tiny tenement flat, Juno Boyle, a beleaguered matriarch whose sharp wit is a survival tool, struggles to make ends meet and keep the family together. Her husband, ‘Captain’ Jack Boyle, fancies himself a ship's commander but sails no further than the pub. When providence comes knocking with life changing news, could the family’s troubles finally fade away?
Poetic, poignant, and hilarious, Juno and the Paycock is a big-hearted, black-humoured, tragi-comic triumph that reflects on a mother’s resilience in the midst of life’s most trying moments.
Playing a strictly limited run from 21 September 2024, don’t miss your chance to see Oscar winner Mark Rylance and two time Screen Actors Guild winner J. Smith-Cameron in Seán O’Casey's Irish classic.
