Young Cassidy

Set in 1911 and the growing protest against British rule in Ireland, young John Cassidy (Seán O'Casey)<ref name=info>[http://www.dublin-info.co.uk/Sean_O_Casey.html Sean O'Casey] on Dublin Info page.</ref> is a labourer by day and a pamphleteer by night. When the pamphlets he has written incite riots, Cassidy realizes he can do more for his people with the pen than with the sword. He writes a new play, ''The Plough and the Stars (play)'', which he submits to the Abbey Theatre (which had already rejected another of his plays, ''The Shadow of a Gunman''), and is surprised when W. B. Yeats, the founder of the Abbey, accepts and produces his new play. The opening of the play causes the audience to riot, and he loses many friends; but he is undeterred and is soon acclaimed as Ireland's outstanding young playwright.
