In 1928 Sean O'Casey submitted The Silver Tassie to the Abbey Theatre, after four months of discussion the play was rejected by the theatre and resulted in a public dispute between one of the theatre's directors, W B Yeats, and O'Casey. This dispute ended a successful partnership between the playwright and Ireland's national theatre. This film looks at this relationship.
Featured in this film: Howard Davies (Director), Mairead Delaney (Archivist, Abbey Theatre), Roy Foster (Irish Historian), Shivaun O'Casey (Sean O'Casey's daughter)

The plays sound fascinating. Historically presented with an accurate pulse on the mood of the people at the time.

Yeats' criticism of O'Casey for "not being there'" is total nonsense. This is truly insulting not just to O'Casey, but to anyone who knows anything about the theatre. Was Shakespeare at Bosworth Field? NO. Does physically "being there" matter at all in any of his plays? OF COURSE NOT. Did O'Casey revere Shakespeare above all other artists and follow his imaginative example in every play he wrote? YES. Would a more simple explanation of Yeats' ridiculous criticism be explained by the simple reason he was simply jealous of O'Casey's great success? YES.
