Setting

The General Post Office (GPO) in Dublin, a grand neoclassical building on Sackville Street (now O'Connell Street). The interior is a mix of marble floors, high ceilings, and large windows. Barricades made of furniture and sandbags are hastily constructed near the entrance. The main hall is filled with rebels in uniform, some writing dispatches, others preparing weapons.

Dialog

Patrick Pearse We stand here today not as rebels, but as the rightful government of the Irish Republic. This proclamation is the birth cry of a nation.
James Connolly The British will move quickly once they realize what's happening. We must secure the GPO and hold it at all costs.
Constance Markievicz Enough talk of defense! We should be taking the fight to them while they're still in their beds!
Patrick Pearse Patience, Countess. Our words today will arm more rebels than any rifle could tomorrow.
James Connolly We'll need both. Words to light the fire, and guns to keep it burning.
Constance Markievicz Then let's stop wasting time! Every minute we delay is a minute the British use to tighten their grip on our country.
Patrick Pearse Very well. May history judge this day as the dawn of Ireland's freedom.
