The Summer Madness by JOHN P. ROONEY
On 2 November 1920 at Dagshai prison in India, a British soldier was shot for mutiny. His name was James Daly and, like all the men of the Connaught Rangers, he was an Irish-man.
This play is the story of how a peaceful demonstration against the infamous activities of the Black and Tans in Ireland became a mutiny in India.
Directed by ROBERT COOPER BBC Northern Ireland
