I have a lot more context for this play now, my second time through it, and also a lot to say about bloodlust and sacrifice and being a decent person, but if I indulged, I'd be ranting through spoilers and possibly for hours, so maybe now is not the time. ( )

I was Nora in the school play in 6th year and can still quote a lot of this from memory.
One of the best literary works about the Easter Rising that I've encountered. ( )
