Pearson’s Guerilla Days Tells Tom Barry’s Story
Admired by many, feared by the British Army and loved by the people he led Tom Barry, the legendary commander of the famous West Cork Flying Column, survived the War of Independence to tell his incredible story.
Barry led a volunteer army in a hide-and-seek campaign of Guerilla warfare matching his wits against an enemy of overwhelming strength and power. In his memoir he gave a gripping account of the attacks.
Indeed, it was so vivid that it subsequently became something of a handbook for guerilla warfare with Che Guevara reportedly carrying a copy.
Guerilla Days in Ireland is Tom Barry’s thrilling first-hand account of the struggle for independence in County Cork, the Rebel County.
Neil Pearson has adapted and directed this play and has remained faithful to the book. For those who haven’t read the book this is a dynamic piece of theatre.
The cast and director have managed to bring a legend alive on stage, along with a whole flying column’s worth of men. Guerilla Days in Ireland is simply a must see play.
