Item 5 - Poster for Foresters’ Hall Event

1 p.; Printed

A poster for a benefit performance of two plays by Patrick Pearse in Foresters’ Hall on Parnell Square (formerly Rutland Square) in Dublin in about 1919. The plays were ‘The Singer’ (written in 1915) and ‘Íosagán’ (initially published as a short story by Pearse in 1907 and adapted as a play in 1910). Foresters’ Hall, located at the rear of 41 Parnell Square, was built in 1912 for the Irish National Foresters (INF). The event was organised in aid of St. Enda’s School. The poster was printed by The Gaelic Press.
