#OTD in 1923.
Seán O'Casey's drama The Shadow of a Gunman, the first of his "Dublin Trilogy", set during the recent Irish War of Independence, opens at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin.
O'Casey's first accepted play, The Shadow of a Gunman. This was the beginning of a relationship that was to be fruitful for both theatre and dramatist but which ended in some bitterness. The play was followed by Juno and the Paycock (1924) and The Plough and the Stars (1926).
