The Irish republicans occupied the Dublin GPO and staged a rebellion against the occupying British government.
Although it has been described as the ‘triumph of failure’, their actions inspired the establishment of the Republic of Ireland.

The 1916 Easter Uprising in Ireland is the narrated musical story of the event which changed the course of Irish history.
