dc.description.abstract	This thesis will take a look at Sean O’Casey’s most famous play about the Easter Rising, The Plough and the Stars, and how it has been produced over almost the past hundred years. This will be done by looking at the first production in 1926, the production of 1991, and the production of 2016. I will investigate what Sean O’Casey’s original political message was, which made the play very controversial in 1926. After that I will focus on the production performed at the 75th anniversary of the rising and lastly at the production that was brought on stage at the centenary of the rising. By looking at the political situations of 1991 and 2016 this thesis will show how the directors of those performances endeavoured to tell their own contemporary political messages by using Sean O’Casey play. Keywords: The Plough and the Stars, Sean O’Casey, Easter Rising, Abbey Theatre, Garry Hynes, Sean Holmes, cultural memory.	en_US
