Mark Rylance and J Smith-Cameron star in Seán O’Casey’s classic drama Juno and the Paycock at the Gielgud Theatre in London.
Matthew Warchus (Matilda The Musical) directs this star-studded new production of Seán O’Casey’s Irish classic Juno and the Paycock as it celebrates its 100th anniversary.
The production is headlined by award-winning star of HBO’s Succession, J Smith-Cameron, as Juno, alongside Oscar, BAFTA and Olivier Award winning actor Mark Rylance as Juno’s husband Captain Jack Boyle.
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.
This extraordinary revival of O’Casey’s acclaimed drama is set to be the most-talked about production of the West End’s autumn season.
Juno and the Paycock is playing the Gielgud Theatre from 21 September to 23 November 2024.
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 life changing news, could the family’s troubles finally fade away?
