Free Screening of 'The Shadow of a Gunman'(December 11, 2007) The Armstrong Atlantic State University (AASU) Irish Studies Club will present a free screening of the film adaptation of Sean O'Casey's play The Shadow of a Gunman. The screening is at noon on Thursday, December 20 in Gamble Hall 103 on the AASU campus, 11935 Abercorn Street. Frank Clancy, assistant professor of English, will introduce the film. The event is free and open to the public. Sean O'Casey's theatrical career spanned numerous decades, nations and dramatic styles, but he is largely remembered as a quintessential Irish dramatist. His Dublin Trilogy, written between 1923 and 1926, stands as his most famous work. The trilogy comprises The Shadow of a Gunman (1923), Juno and the Paycock (1924) and The Plough and the Stars (1926). AASU's Irish Studies Club meets periodically for lectures on Irish literature, films, history, and politics. It is open to those in the community interested in Irish culture.
