Juno and the Paycock is set in the Dublin tenements, or slums, during the Irish Civil War. It tells the story of the Boyle family: Jack Boyle, a self-centered man who spends his time drinking with his pal Joxer rather than looking for work; his wife Juno, responsible and hard-working, who takes care of the family; their son Johnny, who lost an arm in the Easter Rising and spends his days fearfully at home; and their daughter Mary, a young and somewhat vain idealist currently on strike.
“Irish Rep struts its stuff with surprisingly effective Paycock ”- Daily News
“Ms. Flanagan is excellent”- New York Times
“You’re heartened immediately when the accents are right on, delivered by pros who understand the spice poetry of O’Casey’s highfalutin commoners.”- Daily News
