Juno and the Paycock, de Sean O'Casey

sinopsis

Tragicomedy of the tenement dwellers in Dublin of 1922, a world invaded by the cruelties of war. While "Captain" Jack Boyle struts about from pub to pub like a "paycock," his long-suffering wife Juno struggles to make ends meet in their meagre home. Their daughter Mary, having joined the workers' strike, is no longer providing money for food, and their son Johnny, armless and lame as a result of his part in the battle for independence, has become timid and afraid. It appears that the bullet-ridden body of Robbie Tancred, a young neighbour with whom Johnny vehemently denies any friendship, has been found. Although Juno and the Captain try to comfort Mrs. Tancred, they are not deeply affected by her tragedy. However, the news brought by Mary's new suitor, the lawyer Charlie Bentham, that they have inherited half the property of a rich relative, sets them to animated rejoicing. The Captain promises to change his ways, to stop drinking, at last to get a job.
