The
Risen People by James Plunkett
On the occasion of the centenary of the 1913 Lockout
in Dublin, the Abbey Theatre are presenting a new version of James
Plunkett’s play The Risen People.
It was one of the highlights of our Active Retirement's
recent short break in Dublin.
We witnessed the struggle of families to survive during
the Strike and Lockout.
The story was told in the form of music, song and
drama and the interaction of the actors with one another was
expertly done and a joy to watch. We were amazed at the way movement
was created and how special the songs were, both old and new.
It was a great night's entertainment. We
enjoyed it very much despite the plays serious theme.
It
is running in the Abbey until the end of January and is well worth a
visit.
