An interrogation of the legacy of 1916 revolutionary Patrick Pearse.
A disillusioned sculptor called Pearse, hiding from a crime of violence, questions the legacy of Padraig Pearse and whether his spirit and ideology are a force for good or evil?
This play was first performed in 1979 and is a scathing look at Irish society, still relevant today.
A multimedia production from An Taibhdhearc, the National Irish Language Theatre, performed in Irish with English surtitles.
