International | Anti-War / Imperialism | By Jake Arden Email : margarettadarcy@gmail.com <h4>Event Time: Sunday, May 1 2016</h4>
<P>Sssh! Keep it under your hat, but preparations for a rebellion and revolution are being made in Temple Bar. The dangerous subversive Margaretta D’Arcy (aka Ireland’s Guantanamo Granny) is holding a series of lunchtime readings of the groundbreaking 1970s play she co-authored with John Arden (aka The Angry Young Man) at Connolly Books in Essex Street. Each day, between 1pm and 2pm, volunteers are taking parts and reading scenes from the Non Stop Connolly Show about the life and struggles of James Connolly. The last scene covering the 1916 Easter Rising will be performed on Thursday 12 May, the centenary of Connolly’s execution.</P><P>Highlights of the coming week (2-7 May) and parts to be taken include:<br />
<br />
Rosa Luxemburg<br />
Connolly in America: Eugene Debs; Wild Bill Hayward of the IWW; Mother Jones<br />
Jim Larkin and the Dublin Lockout<br />
Music from the amazing Dublin Ukele Collective, stars of the Electric Picnic<br />
Tea and cakes courtesy of the Communist Party Ireland. Double helpings for anarchists!<br />
