  1. xv, 91 p. : facsim.; 24 cm.
Summary
  1. The plot focuses on the turmoil of an outside world of strikes and riots converging on a Dublin city church in the midst of its preparations for a harvest festival. Set in 1913, it deals with Irish workers' battles against economic oppression and religious hypocrisy, with that vital combina­tion of passion, humour and pathos that distinguishes O'Casey's later plays. It is a rich melodrama of class struggle, with ironically pointed clashes involving representatives of Church, Employers and Labour.
