Sean O’Casey Through the Lens of Art

Join us for this  engaging illustrated talk with Dr Anne Cormican exploring the fascinating life and work of playwright Sean O’Casey through the lens of art.  During this talk, Anne will discuss some key illustrations of Sean O’Casey’s work in art such as the panel for Juno and the Paycock in Harry Clarke’s masterpiece The Geneva Window. Anne will also discuss some of the art in the O’Casey’s family home. Anne’s thesis for her MA Anglo-Irish Literature juxtaposed O’Casey‘s The Silver Tassie and William Orpen’s war paintings as anti-war works.
