Young Cassidy background

Young Cassidy

A young man's journey of self-discovery unfolds in 20th century Dublin, Ireland, as he faces the ups and downs of life with unwavering optimism.

In Dublin in 1911, John Cassidy, a struggling idealist, navigates the city's social injustices while caring for his family. He gets entangled in the tramway-men's strike, befriends a prostitute, and yearns for a better life. Falling for bookshop assistant Nora, who inspires him to pursue writing, John finds success at the Abbey Theatre, but his unconventional views ultimately lead to estrangement from those around him.
