Programme of performances for Easter Monday.

This programme lists Sean Connolly as Peter Gillane in Kathleen Ni Houlihan by W.B. Yeats and Arthur Shields as Mr Casey in The Mineral Workers by William Boyle. Neither actor played their assigned roles at the Abbey Theatre that day. Instead they took up arms and participated in the Easter Rising. Sean Connolly was killed in action at Dublin's City Hall while Arthur Shields was part of the General Post Office garrison. At the outbreak of the fighting the performanes were cancelled.
