Young Cassidy
''Young Cassidy'' is a 1965 film directed by Jack Cardiff and John Ford.〔(IMDB: Young Cassidy (1965) )〕 The film stars Rod Taylor, Julie Christie, and Maggie Smith. The film is a biographical drama based upon the life of the playwright Sean O'Casey.
==Plot==
Set in 1911 and the growing protest against British rule in Ireland, young John Cassidy (Sean O'Casey)〔(Sean O'Casey ) on Dublin Info page.〕 is a labourer by day and a pamphleteer by night. When the pamphlets he has written incite riots, Cassidy realizes he can do more for his people with the pen than with the sword. He writes a new play, ''The Plough and the Stars'', which he submits to the Abbey Theatre (which had already rejected another of his plays, ''The Shadow of a Gunman''), and is surprised when W.B. Yeats, the founder of the Abbey, accepts and produces his new play. The opening of the play causes the audience to riot, and he loses many friends; but he is undeterred and is soon acclaimed as Ireland's outstanding young playwright.
As early as 1907, performances of John Millington Synge's ''The Playboy of the Western World'' resulted in riots by theatergoers, which had to be quelled by police.〔Seán O'Casey article on the similarity of ''The Plough and the Stars'' and ''Playboy'' riots.〕 The real W.B Yeats, a friend of both authors, said similar words at or after both riots.〔〔John Millington Synge#Playboy Riots and After on riots and Yeats.〕 ''Young Cassidy'' brings this parallel history (the riots of ''The Plough and the Stars'' and ''The Playboy of the Western World'') to vivid life, tied together by the character of Yeats.
