The Abbey Rebels of 1916
The Abbey Theatre in Dublin has long claimed to be the cradle of the Irish revolution. Belfast-based historian Fearghal McGarry explores this connection in his excellent book ‘The Abbey Rebels of 1916 – A Lost Revolution’ (Gill and Macmillan, 2016), which follows the lives of seven Abbey actors and staff who were involved in the Easter Rising.
