BBC Radio Ulster - The Women Who Staged the Rising

Marie-Louise Muir examines the role of theatre in the 1916 Easter Rising.

Marie-Louise Muir examines the role of theatre in politicising the largely forgotten Irish women who fought in the 1916 Easter Rising.

Broadcaster and journalist, Marie-Louise Muir, examines the role theatre played in radicalising the revolutionary movement of Irish women who fought in the 1916 Easter Rising.

As she pieces together their largely forgotten stories through archives at Dublin's Abbey Theatre and visits to key locations associated with the insurrection, Marie-Louise asks what happened to these women and their radical ideals.
