O'Casey's damning indictment of Irish Nationalism and the swathe of destruction caused by the Rising and Civil War remains as haunting and urgent now as it did ninety years ago. Familiar to Irish secondary schoolchildren - it should be mandatory reading for anyone who wants to romanticise the birth pangs of the Irish Republic.
