Seán O'Casey
Wrote the Dublin trilogy about the Easter Rising and the civil war, which caused riots at the Abbey Theatre for refusing to make heroes of anybody.
Seán O'Casey was an Irish dramatist and memoirist. A committed socialist, he was the first Irish playwright of note to write about the struggles and experiences of the working class in Dublin. He is best known for his "Dublin Trilogy", which includes The Shadow of a Gunman (1923), Juno and the Paycock (1924) and The Plough and the Stars (1926).
