from Part II - Social Contexts
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 June 2025
In 2018 the ANU theatre company, which had gained a reputation for immersive performance and installation work since forming in 2009, staged a site-specific piece in Dublin called The Lost O’Casey. This play took inspiration from, and reimagined, key elements of Sean O’Casey’s 1924 play Nannie’s Night Out. This chapter, co-authored by the director of the ANU production and by a leading theatre historian, examines the social and political imperatives behind the 2018 production, and connects the concerns that O’Casey articulated in the 1920s with the endemic poverty, inequality, and losses of the modern Irish capital.
