Broadway Theatre Archive: The Shadow of a Gunman

The New York Times has deemed this extraordinary collection to be "the crown jewels of public and network television."

Is a sensitive and mysterious poet really an IRA gunman in hiding? Set in a Dublin tenement in the 1920's, The Shadow of a Gunman was the first part of O'Casey's celebrated "Dublin Trilogy." Equal parts comedy and tragedy, this classic play is brilliantly performed by a stellar cast including Frank Converse, and Academy Award-winner Richard Dreyfuss (Jaws, Mr. Holland's Opus).
