Abstract

Since the 1950s, Sean O’Casey’s own life has repeatedly been a source of fascination for dramatists, and there have been a number of dramatic reconstructions of his life, often based on his own autobiographical writings. In 1956, Paul Shyre adapted the first of O’Casey’s autobiographies in a production staged at New York’s Kaufmann auditorium. David Krause and Patrick Funge followed with theatrical versions of O’Casey’s autobiographies staged at the Lantern Theatre in Dublin between 1965 and 1972.
