Plow and the Stars Revival at Lincoln Center
Review of Sean OʼCasey’s The Plow and the Stars at the Vivian Beaumont Theater notes its lasting quality since 1926 Abbey production. The piece highlights depictions of Dublin tenement life amid the Easter Rising and critiques the uneven directing while praising Jack MacGowran as Fluther Good and Roberta Maxwell as Nora Clitheroe.

Revival of Enduring Play Amid Irish Theatrical Critique
A review notes uneven acting and direction in a Dublin set stage production. Douglas Schmidt’s realistic design contrasts with performances by Pauline Flanagan and Nancy Marchand, whose similar appearances hinder character distinction. Christopher Walken’s Jack Chiheroe misfitles in 1916 Dublin, while a parallel photography exhibit titled The Faces of Ireland highlights contemporary national spirit.
