Production images have been released for the premiere of UK Theatre award-winning playwright Lizzie Nunnery’s new play with songs 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 is at Omnibus Theatre until 20th October before embarking on tour.
