Description

John Bull's Other Island is a comedy written by George Bernard Shaw in 1904 about Ireland for the opening of Abbey Theatre.

John Bull's Other Island - George Bernard Shaw's rarely produced comedy about Ireland, John Bull's Other Island, has far more than an historical interest. The play was not highly regarded when it was written in 1904, commissioned and subsequently rejected by Yeats for the opening of Dublin's Abbey theatre. It was regarded as too long, full of technical difficulties, and slightly controversial.

John Bull's Other Island - Nearly a century later, Dominic Dromgoole's abridged production gives insight into the famous author's feelings about his homeland, Ireland and adoptive home, England, and entertainingly so! In addition, it asks still pertinent questions about capitalism, industrialisation and our moral responsibility to our communities.
