Gaiety Theatre Play 1912
« on: Wednesday 01 June 11 16:13 BST (UK) »
In 1912 a play written by Count Casimir Markievicz (husband of the Countess) was staged in the GaietyTheatre in Dublin. It was titled The Memory of the Dead. I wonder if any theatrical historian could help me with names of the cast.  I know of two, they were the Countess Markievicz who played the daughter to Sean Connolly who played her father, he often acted with the Abbey Players and was shot during the Easter Rising 1916.
