'The whole world is in a terrible state of chassis' (TY english trip).

Yesterday all TY students went to Juno and the paycock a play we studied in school. We also went to the National Library of Ireland where we seen W.B Yeats exhibition and Bog bodies. the museums were fun and I seen a lot of interesting things. But my favorite part of the day had to be the play Juno and the Paycock. which was written in 1924 By Sean O' Casey. The play was set in the Dublin tenements around the time of the 1916 raising. The set in the play was AMAZING it looked like a tenement room. they special effects were really good as well in one scene one of the characters was cooking sausages and you could smell them cooking. The acting was really good too the main characters Juno (mother) was played by Sinead Cusack and Jack Boyle ( father)  was played by Ciaran Hinds ( who was in harry potter :O ).
We also got to eat on Grafton street for lunch I went to McDonald's.
I really enjoyed the play and i would recommend going to see it, it is running till the5th of november.
