To coincide with Howard Davies’ production of Sean O'Casey’s The Silver Tassie, I produced this short film looking at the playwright’s relationship with the Abbey Theatre which came to an abrupt end with this play.

Old St. Pat’s, NW corner of Adams and Des Plaines, 1861, Chicago

One of Chicago’s oldest buildings, construction on Old St. Pat’s began in 1853 and was then dedicated in 1857. The Great Fire of 1871 missed the church by two blocks.
