“M must be Moore Street, where the first shots were fired.”
This poem by Jack O’Rourke is delivered in a series of monologues to celebrate the heroes of the 1916 Easter Rising, and runs through a series of images that will resonate with any Irish person.
From the Asgard to the zoo in the Phoenix Park, this is a deeply evocative telling of the story of Dublin during a tumultuous century, all the way from the Rising to the present day.
Well done to everyone involved in this. It will stay with you.
