Sean O'Casey's Gunman echoes down the years
The new resonance of Sean O' Casey's 1923 play The Shadow of a Gunman
An exhibition of marble sculpture in Hampstead, London. The Royal Shakespeare Company stages Sean O' Casey's 1923 play The Shadow of a Gunman, about a poet mistaken for an IRA gunman, and actor Norman Rodway discusses his role as the petrified pedlar Seumus Shield. David Martin's novel The Road to Ballyshannon set in the Irish Civil War of the 1920s is reviewed. And amid riots across Britain, Afro-Saxon Rock Week opens at the Riverside Studios, and reggae singer and musician Jimmy Lindsay talks about being black in Britain and Rastafarian beliefs.
Presented by Frank Delaney.
