Festival Season 1, Episode 21: The Old Lady Says No! Or Who Wounded Maud McCutcheon?
Denis Johnston's first play took Dublin by storm and laid the foundation of the worldwide reputation of the Dublin Gate Theatre. It takes place in the mind of an actor who is playing the Irish revolutionary Robert Emmet in a traditional patriotic drama. The actor is knocked unconscious by accident and in his reverie he imagines he is Emmet walking the streets of present-day Dublin, confronting the jarring contrast between the myth of Ireland and modern day reality.
