  • He coulda sold the play for abita money BUT NOOOOOO he let the ducks eat it :( bloody Irish people

  • THE BARMAN IS LEO FROM FAIR CITY LOL!!!!!!! also, why do most of the irish in this have country accents when they are supposed to be from dublin?

  • o Casey and Yeats too Irish protestants i prefer Sean o Casey more loved the plough and stars

  • 5.33 .O Casey said bollix .Top Man

  • Sailing to Byzantium, Easter 1916, John Swifts epitaph. Yeah Sean O'Casey might be identified with the fenians and freedom more but Ireland is a great country and why is it recognised at all? Because of the likes of Oscar Wilde, Shaw, and Yeats. The writers nostalgic Americanised view of Ireland and Sean O'Casey can go to hell like Keating that fag(you won't know him). I feel better now.

  • John Lynch, is such an underrated actor, look at him In The Name Of The Father, the fact he acting next to Daniel-Day Lewis doesn't do him any favours.

    He's the only positive thing in the George Best bio pic as well.

  • I love Sean O'Casey. His play the plough and the stars looks outside the nationalistic romantic dream for Ireland and focus's on the domestic life in which the poor must endure and shows that even though ireland may win itd freedom, the poverty stricken people will still stay poor and ineffected

  • Bit tedious and dull as regards subject matter. Nothing compared to yeats (as seen here). Besides no-one gives a fuck about the poor en masse unless they are one of them. It is the intelligentsia who are the jewel of a country and bloodshed the instigator of change. Padraig Pearse had the right idea.

  • I like the way he tells Indy the truth about the music hall performance of When Irish Eyes Are Smiling. I'm Scottish and I think I like it because it reflects how I feel about The White Heather Club, Thingummyjig and all the kilted entertainers who've harmed Scotland's reputation and who once turned us into a land of tartan, haggis and shortbread. Happily we've moved on.

  • I'm Irish and I like it.

  • Great clip. I kinda feel sorry for Sean O'Casey who's extremely passionate about his country and is ignorred by everyone including the brilliant poet William B. Yeats. But his passions are somewhat negative during yhis clip, because he thinks Irelands Freedom is the most important thinng on earth.

  • Freedom from oppressive rule is important. What would you know about it? When your very own people are treated as second class people, then of course - self determination is the most important thing in life.

  • Irelands freedom is the most important thing on earth, and it still hasn't happened.
