In mirroring the lives of the Dublin poor, from the tenement dwellers in \u003ci\u003eThe Shadow of a Gunman\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eJuno and the Paycock\u003c\/i\u003e to the bricklayer, street vendor, and charwoman in \u003ci\u003eThe Plough and the Stars\u003c\/i\u003e, Sean O'Casey conveys with urgency and eloquence the tiny details that create a total character as well as the terrors, large and small, that the constant threat of political violence inevitably brings. As Seamus Heaney has written, \"O'Casey's characters are both down to earth and larger than life . . . His democratic genius was at one with his tragic understanding, and his recoil from tyranny and his compassion for the oppressed were an essential--as opposed to a moral and thematic--part of his art.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA new production of \u003ci\u003eJuno and the Paycock\u003c\/i\u003e will transfer from the Donmar Theatre in London to New York in September 2000.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSean O'Casey was born on March 30, 1880 in Dublin, Ireland.
