'J. Smith-Cameron is tremendous'
The Guardian
Tony award-nominee J. Smith-Cameron (Succession) stars as Juno Boyle opposite Mark Rylance in a highly anticipated new production of JUNO AND THE PAYCOCK, Seán O’Casey's timeless masterpiece, directed by Tony and Olivier award-winner Matthew Warchus (Matilda The Musical, Pride).
'Mark Rylance is brilliant'
Time Out
Dublin, 1922, the Irish Civil War is tearing the nation apart. In the cauldron of the family’s tiny tenement flat, Juno Boyle, a beleaguered matriarch whose sharp wit is a survival tool, struggles to make ends meet and keep the family together. Her husband, ‘Captain’ Jack Boyle, fancies himself a ship's commander but sails no further than the pub. When providence comes knocking with news of a great inheritance, could the family’s troubles finally fade away?
Poetic, poignant, and hilarious, JUNO AND THE PAYCOCK is a big-hearted, black-humoured, tragi-comic triumph that reflects on a mother’s resilience in the midst of life’s most trying moments.
‘WHAT CAN GOD DO AGAINST THE STUPIDITY OF MEN?’
'Full of hilarity and poignancy, bright and bleak all at once'
