- Summary
- The plot focuses on the turmoil of an outside world of strikes and riots converging on a Dublin city church in the midst of its preparations for a harvest festival. Set in 1913, it deals with Irish workers' battles against economic oppression and religious hypocrisy, with that vital combination of passion, humour and pathos that distinguishes O'Casey's later plays. It is a rich melodrama of class struggle, with ironically pointed clashes involving representatives of Church, Employers and Labour.
