Another big rising action is when Dennis Nedry programs the system, as well as the power, to shut down, then steals dinosaur embryos to sell them. His plan fails when he meets a hungry dinosaur, and… gets…

The Easter Rising of 1916 is believed to be the most compelling single event in modern Irish history. The number of plays, novels and poems centred around the Easter Rising are endless. For the purpose of this essay I will discuss how the Easter Rising is represented in both Sean O' Casey's…

In the years following the 1916 Easter Rising the GAA, according to its many historians, including Padraig Púirséal and Marcus de Burca, claimed that the GAA had provided a great number of the men who had played an active role during the insurrection.

Set in the Easter Rising, Sean O’Casey’s play, The Plough and the Stars, utilizes its setting to discuss the consequences of war and the idea of making a blood sacrifice for Irish independence. Prior its inception, Irish nationalist theatre consisted of works such as Cathleen Ni Houlihan by William Butler Yeats, which evokes a mythological sense of nationalist pride as it uses the figure of Sean-Bhean Bhocht, Poor Old Woman, who needs a young man to help her remove the invaders from her home,…
