The Connollys A Nest of Irish Rebels

Micheál Ó Conghaile

0/5 ( ratings)

This is the true story about an ordinary Irish family, the Connollys, who were caught up in historical events at the end of the nineteenth century and during the early years of the twentieth century. Many members of the family were involved in the nationalist struggle, which had its moment of glory in the Easter Rising of 1916. Each committed member played a significant role in the Rising, which resulted in the death of one of them. He was Captain Sean Connolly, the Abbey actor, who was described as "the player Connolly", by William Butler Yeats in his poem Three Songs to the One Burden, one of the poems he wrote in response to the Easter Rising.
Who was the first man shot that day?
The player Connolly,
Close to the City Hall he died;
Carriage and voice had he;
He lacked those years that go with skill'
But later might have been
A famous, a brilliant figure
Before that painted scene.
