Ireland, World War One. Dashing Harry Heegan leads his football
team to victory, arriving home in swaggering celebration before he
grabs his kit and heads for the trenches. A nightmare world awaits,
the men, reduced to cannon fodder, speaking in mangled incantations
as the casualties stack up. Months later, Harry returns, a cripple
at the football club party. Everyone but the shattered war veterans
dance and forget. Peppered with acrid wit and dark vaudeville
humour, The Silver Tassie, Sean O'Casey's powerful anti-war play of
1928, receives a major revival at the National Theatre in April
2014.
