Rebel leaders Patrick Pearse and James Connolly oversee the defense of the General Post Office (GPO) as British troops advance through Dublin. Smoke rises from nearby buildings, and the streets are ch

Setting

General Post Office (GPO) on Sackville Street, Dublin. The grand neoclassical building stands as the rebels' stronghold, its imposing columns now marred by bullet holes and shrapnel. The street is littered with debris, overturned trams, and hastily built barricades. Smoke drifts from nearby buildings set ablaze by the fighting.

TNGF
SELECTED
Patrick Pearse
primary
A lean, pale man in his mid-30s with sharp features, deep-set blue eyes, and a neatly trimmed dark beard. His angular face shows both intellectual intensity and the strain of leadership. He carries himself with the upright posture of a schoolmaster, but his hands bear ink stains and slight tremors from sleepless nights.
James Connolly
primary
A stocky, middle-aged man of 47 with a square jaw and deep-set eyes that burn with revolutionary zeal. His thick moustache is flecked with gunpowder residue, and his muscular frame — hardened by years of labor activism — strains against his uniform. A bandage wraps his left calf where shrapnel grazed him earlier.
Rebel Volunteer
secondary
A lean young man in his early 20s with sharp features, fair skin, and a shock of unruly auburn hair. His piercing green eyes are framed by faint freckles across his nose, and he sports a hastily-trimmed beard. His hands bear callouses from labor, but his grip on the rifle is steady.
British Officer
secondary
A lean, taut-faced man in his early 30s with a sharply trimmed mustache and piercing gray eyes. His posture is rigidly upright, betraying his Sandhurst training, though a streak of soot mars his right cheek from the street fighting. His hands are gloved in brown leather, one gripping a Webley revolver, the other clenched at his side.
British Soldier
background
A young private in his early 20s, lean but wiry from military training, with short-cropped sandy hair and a smudge of soot across his left cheek. His hands are rough but steady as he handles his rifle, and his pale blue eyes are wide with a mix of fear and determination.
Civilian Woman
background
A middle-aged woman with a sturdy build, her face lined with worry and fatigue. Her dark hair is loosely tied back under a shawl, strands escaping and clinging to her sweat-dampened forehead. Her hands are rough from years of labor, gripping the injured man with desperate strength.

Dialog

Patrick Pearse Irishmen and Irishwomen, in the name of God and of the dead generations from which she receives her old tradition of nationhood, Ireland, through us, summons her children to her flag and strikes for her freedom!
James Connolly A chairde—shift those sandbags left! Tommy's bringing up a Vickers gun by the tram lines!
Rebel Volunteer Christ keep us—their lads are advancing by sections past Nelson's Pillar!
British Officer Section Two—suppressing fire on those upper windows! Section Three, flank right along the bookstore!
Patrick Pearse They think to bury us—but we are seeds in the Gael's earth.
James Connolly Aye—so let's grow barricades from their paving stones, mo chara.
Rebel Volunteer The Post Office clock's stopped at eleven—like the whole city's holding its breath!
