<p> <i>Could peace come after? After what? Who will we be?</i> <br> <br> Easter morning, 1916. Gunshots ring out in the Dublin streets. In her suburban sitting-room Hanna prepares for revolution. Frank walks through the crowds calling for peace, while John recalls the trenches and sees a city soaked in blood. Eighteen-year-old William fearfully reports to the barracks for duty, determined to serve the British army with honour. <br> <br> Inspired by true events, this absorbing play weaves movement and folk song into a stirring tale of militarism, corruption and the power of rebellion. <br> <br> Lizzie Nunnery's <i>To Have to Shoot Irishmen</i> premiered at the Omnibus Theatre, London, in October 2018, the first date in an Almanac Arts UK tour.</p>
