Ireland's historic Abbey Theatre brings a masterpiece of Irish theatre to Toronto for five performances only. A powerful drama set amid the revolutionary Easter Rising in Ireland, The Plough and the Stars is the story of ordinary lives ripped apart by idealism. The residents of a Dublin tenement take shelter from the violence that sweeps through the city's streets. A revolution that will shape the country's future rages around them. What kind of Ireland awaits them?
