Almanac Arts have released rehearsal images ahead of next week’s premiere at the Omnibus Theatre of Lizzie Nunnery’s new play To Have To Shoot Irishmen.
Inspired by the true murder of Irish pacifist Francis Sheehy Skeffington by a British soldier during the Easter Rising in Dublin in 1916, the new play conjures the shattering impact of those events on his wife and feminist activist Hanna, on William the teenage soldier who guarded Frank, and on Vane the rebellious commander who bears the news of Frank’s death to Hanna.
To Have to Shoot Irishmen will open at Omnibus Theatre from 2-20 October and will then tour until 6 November.
