Irish theatre company to stream their critically acclaimed production, Inside The GPO
Dublin theatre company, Fishamble have announced that audiences will have another chance to see Inside The GPO, when it is streamed online this Easter Sunday.
Inside the GPO by Colin Murphy was a must-see cultural event at the heart of the 1916 commemorations.
This unprecedented documentary drama, directed by Jim Culleton, was a once-in-a-century opportunity to experience the Easter Rising, in the main hall of the GPO itself.
Audiences witnessed the rebel leadership navigate the perils of the Rising across the five days during which they occupied the GPO.
The video link will be accessible from 7 pm Sunday, April 12 to 10 pm Monday, April 13 at www.fishamble.com/inside-the-gpo
It can also be accessed directly on YouTube here

This is just one of a number of initiatives in which Fishamble are sharing work and engaging with artists online, while theatres are currently closed.
