In About OCasey Dr Victoria Stewart explores the life and work of Sean OCasey, whose writing career spanned some of the most tumultuous times in Irelands history, tracing the path which led him to an association with Dublins Abbey Theatre in the early 1920s, and the turns his career took after he made the decision to leave Ireland for good.

The book includes interviews with OCasey, and the theatre practitioners who have put his work on stage, including Paul Kerryson, John Crowley, Dearbhla Molloy, Andy Arnold and Shivaun OCasey. A clear and stimulating collection of material on one of Irelands major writers.
